How to Create Your Career in Music

How to Create Your Career in Music Due to the diversity of the music world you cannot have a one-size-fits-all plan for music career success, and as such music career paths are quite different. There are still, however. a few standard guidelines that can be awfully helpful to anyone who wants to start a career in the music industry from their love and passion for music. This article explores some of the most important things to know in order to create your career in music. Whether it’s singing, playing an instrument, or becoming a successful songwriter, there are possibilities out there if you choose to explore them. 1. Hone Your Talent and Believe That There’s a Place for You Of course not everyone is or can be a Quincy Jones, a Bruce Springsteen, or a member of the Beatles, but just like them, you should harbour the belief that there’s room for your talent too. All you need to do is explore the options open to you with regards to studying and practicing your art. Whether you look to providing backup vocals, engineering a studio session, or tutoring children on the basics of music, there are many courses out there to suit your needs, such as a Certificate IV in Music, lessons from a private tutor in singing or playing an instrument, or you could start watching the masters at work in the studio to begin your music education. Your aim should be to position yourself as the select person to go to for a specific skill or talent. Industry rejection should not serve as discouragement. Just keep on practising and fine-tuning your skill, and sooner or later you will be recognized and rewarded. The bottom-line is, you should stay confident, believing in yourself and persevering against and beyond naysayers’ opinions. 2. Cherish Connections and Relationships In the music industry, who-you-know/ who-knows-you is a great factor worthy of consideration if you want to build a career here. The quality (as well as the quantity) of your friends and fans are fundamental drivers of your progress. As such, keep trying to ever build on projects that bring you closer tor fellow professionals in the industry. You may do so by combining your live show with some other acts and present that to a local promoter. If your interest is in the business side of music, interning with a music production company is the choicest way to both acquaint yourself with how the business works, as well as connecting with those who matter in helping you move your career up the ladder. 3. Appreciate that theres a place for music everywhere Music is used everywhere in advertising, and this has created endless opportunities for those in the music industry. Businesses away from music industry are constantly seeking creative and catchy ways to bring musical related advertisement to their brands. This tells you that you are not confined only in the traditional forms of music to build your career in music and find success. Looking outside the box, such as starting off writing advertising jingles, or performing in your local bar for free are both great ways to build industry connections and a wider fan base. You need to appreciate that not all jobs will get you a high rate of pay, but it is these smaller gigs or internships that will give you the building blocks you need to build a career. The greatest tragedy is to always want to do something yet you are never achieving just because you do not know how to do it. The above tips should be helpful to you if you want to build your career in music with success. So think outside the box and push back the frontiers of music to find your own career in music that is as individual as you are. 1

Motivation To Slow Down and Enjoy Every Moment

Motivation To Slow Down and Enjoy Every Moment A few weeks ago, I posted about how after reading the Four Hour Work Week, I have been trying my best to become more efficient in my work and life.   If you havent read the book, the last chapter has an amazing little poem that I wanted to share with you.   I hope after reading  this poem, it makes you slow down and enjoy every moment of today. Slow Dance by David L. Weatherford Have you ever watched kids On a merry-go-round? Or listened to the rain Slapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterflys erratic flight? Or gazed at the sun into the fading night? You better slow down. Dont dance so fast. Time is short. The music wont last. Do you run through each day On the fly? When you ask: How are you? Do you hear the reply? When the day is done, do you lie in your bed With the next hundred chores Running through your head? Youd better slow down. Dont dance so fast. Time is short. The music wont last. Ever told your child, Well do it tomorrow? And in your haste, Not see his sorrow? Ever lost touch, Let a good friendship die Cause you never had time To call and say, Hi? Youd better slow down. Dont dance so fast. Time is short. The music wont last. When you run so fast to get somewhere You miss half the fun of getting there. When you worry and hurry through your day, It is like an unopened gift thrown away. Life is not a race. Do take it slower. Hear the music Before the song is over.

Advice for College Seniors and Juniors As I Graduate

Advice for College Seniors and Juniors As I Graduate By, Courtney Parham In October, when I mentioned that I’m starting my job search, my alum friend Jennifer replied, “May the force be with you. I spent 8 months trying to find a job.” At first, I didn’t take her fateful words seriously because I figured that a job search couldn’t be that hard. Well.   Despite having a strong resume and doing all the things listed below (and then some), I am like millions of other job seekers who have encountered painstaking difficulty with landing a job in this recession. In the last several months, I learned a lot of valuable information from all the career experts (my dad was a recruiter), books, and first-hand experience. Since I’m done with college now, I need to share the knowledge in hopes that your job search may be a bit more bearable. If you aspire to work upon graduation, remember to: 1. Network. If you don’t know what that means, you better ask somebody. Then build a profile on LinkedIn.com to get you started. About 70% of job seekers find employment through a connection. Also sign up for more organizations in your prospective career field to meet more people. Now is the time to ignore your parents’ advice to “never talk to strangers”, as their network may lead you to shiny new opportunities. 2. If you study most of the time, hit PAUSE and acquire more work experience!   If you can’t find someone to pay you, then volunteer or do an unpaid internship. I gained some my most valuable work experience by stepping up to help publicize projects I was already involved in. Employers want to see proof of results and what you can bring to their company. Unlike college admissions officers, many employers don’t ask about our transcripts, or care about our A’s. Sorry. 3. Start your job search way before you graduate. I recommend at the beginning of your final semester. It will likely require at least a couple months to research and secure a job. This includes researching companies, exploring potential careers, doing informational interviews, as well as networking. Also, be sure that you do not apply for immediate openings until you’re really close to graduation. I almost snagged two different jobs, but the companies said that my timing was off since I wasn’t out of school yet. 4. Manage your online presence, and periodically google your name. The sad reality is that employers check Facebook, Myspace, and will run the job candidate’s name through search engines to dig up background info. It is beneficial to create a personal blog or website that relates to your career ambitions, so that they can get a better sense of your personality. With that in mind, if you wouldn’t want your current/future boss to see specific information, remove it or increase your privacy settings. Especially those pictures from that one crazy night you’d want to forget, unless you already have. 5. It’s unlikely that you will land your dream job straight out of college. Therefore, broaden your career interests. You gotta crawl before you can walk. I just realized this as I read a job posting recently and thought, “I’m not interested in this position…well…let me keep my options open”. Needing to compromise is especially true if you’re in Liberal Arts, while a business school curriculum is obviously more focused on jobs (you lucky ducks). 6. Learn to negotiate salaries, and don’t jump at the first offer that comes to you. I’ve heard multiple times that people regret not receiving what they’re worth, and find better jobs soon after they chose the first offer. 7. Follow-up, and follow-up again. Avoid sending out 50 resumes, then chilling and hoping someone calls you. Call them! Email is an over-used form of communication, so always follow-up with a phone call, too. In this competitive market, you need to persistently initiate contact and be assertive in searching for a job. 8. Despite your career accomplishments, remember that we’re in a recession. Honestly, I thought that my campus involvement, management experience, and supportive network would land me a job pretty quickly. Although it’s great that I receive compliments on my resume, call backs, and I have upcoming second interviews, I’m still seeking a job. SO, if my background seems like yours, please remain prepared for an uphill battle. 9. Be persistent and optimistic. Amongst the rejection you’ll receive, it’s important to keep on steppin’. In job hunting it’s never been more true that one can’t accomplish anything great unless they’ve tried and tried again. My favorite quote these days is by Vince Lombardi, “it’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get back up.” 10. Check it: The most helpful book ever for college job seekers, free online: collegegrad.com/jobsearch. …and, if all else fails, apply to grad school sooner than you planned. Each one, teach one. Feel free to pass this along to a fellow student.   Courtney Parham graduated in December 2008 from the University of San Francisco with a Bachelors Degree in Sociology. Her undergraduate accomplishments include serving in numerous student leadership positions, working as a Resident Advisor, completing three internships, spending a semester abroad in Hungary, and she was chosen to study leadership with the Deans Leadership Seminar in Australia. She is a member of Alpha Kappa Delta Sociology Honor Society, and she was selected to research an Honors Thesis in her senior year. Courtney currently works as a Public Relations Intern at a cognitive health software company in San Francisco. She is passionate about establishing a career in tech public relations and new media.

How To Make Internships Translate to Potential Employers - Pathfinder Careers

How To Make Internships Translate to Potential Employers - Pathfinder Careers How To Make Internships Translate to Potential Employers Talk to any successful business person and ask them about how they got their career start, and youll more than likely get a wistful look in their eye as they recall an internship that made a significant impact on their lives. Thats all well and good, but what is the real trick to making sure your internship doesnt turn into the making coffee and running copies dreaded drudgery? The truth is that what your internships turns into rests on you. But there is a real secret to making these internships truly meaningful. You can make out of it as much or as little as you would like. Go-getters go into internship experiences with high expectations; more importantly, they have a plan. Its just not enough to suddenly be granted the privilege to walk through the vaunted doors of the company you need to help define and shape your experience so that you walk out of there benefiting from it just as much as your internship sponsor. So what does it take to have a successful plan? How do you communicate it to your supervisor? Here are 6 tips to help create a satisfying internship experience that creates easily digestible connecting activities that are highly relevant to prospective employers: 1) Set up a planning meeting with your boss.  On your first day, it is important to sit down with your supervisor to facilitate a brain storming session to learn about their pain points and set up some structure to what exactly it is that youll be working on for them. 2) Suggest specific projects that you will own.  Having some kind of start-to-finish project ownership will give you something to wrap your arms around and also provide a concrete example of your abilities.  Future employers appreciate seeing some kind of specifics in your resume, so the more you can take on and successfully complete, the more youll have to talk about to potential new companies. 3) Determine what your project outcomes should be.  In order to know whether the project that you work on is successful or not, you should work together with your supervisor to determine what the outcomes should look like so you have measurable targets. 4) Learn new skills.  Proactively plan through your internship experience to include opportunities where you can learn new skills to add to your career portfolio. Ask your supervisor about rotating into different roles in the office, find out if you can attend meetings, or even job shadow. The more you learn, the more diverse your skill sets become to make you a better candidate. 5)  Build networking contacts.  Tap into your supervisor and co-workers to start building your professional network. Leverage your time at the company and ask to be connected to key industry people or thought leaders which can turn into powerful advocates if you treat them right. 6) Schedule internship exit interview with metrics measurements.  Your last day should end with a giant slab of cake and ice cream; you should have a specific sit-down meeting with your boss to go over what you learned, what you accomplished, and how they felt you performed in the internship. By taking these steps, you can have a much more fulfilling experience which will translate into meaty connections that will build your employability and credibility with future potential employers.
