The jobs are out there

Sitting on my desk at the moment are three crackingly good job descriptions for church musician roles in London churches.

I don’t think that they’ve arrived on my desk because those churches want me to do the job. If so, I don’t think I’d be anywhere near making the grade. I’d also like to reassure my boss that I’m not thinking of leaving — unless, of course, he put those job descriptions on my desk! I presume that the job descriptions are there because the usual advertising channels have failed to attract many suitable candidates.

Subliminal advertising

I’ve had the re-mortgaging experience myself of paying for advertising for music apprentices that has yielded little fruit, which is why it’s jolly useful writing a column like this when I can do subliminal advertising for free.
