Most artists, performers and even producers or directors have needed income from employment while they worked and planned for their eventual career success.

Here’s a brilliant way to take advantage of what most of us do at some point which is Google yourself. You think a potential employer doesn’t do this?

Placing a Google Adwords ad asking for a job and using the name of the person you’re trying to get attention from for your keywords almost guarantees your ad will appear in the paid ad space at the very top of the results page if that person Googles their own name! It only costs you if it works and then it costs pennies…and because there is not likely to be much competition for names it should cost very few pennies. If you wanted to cover your bases you could setup Yahoo/Bing ads too.

Sure, it’s obvious, but only if you know people in media and the arts are likely to be keeping tabs on their own social presence. The example is a copywriter, but couldn’t this work for gallery owners? production executives? music directors? We’ve all had jobs that had nothing to do with our goals…mind numbing, spirit killing work we’ve told ourselves was just to get us to where we needed to be. Maybe trying some simple ideas aimed specifically at what we want are worth trying!!!

Please add any non traditional methods you’ve used to get the attention of potential employers or those you needed to persuade in the commnets. (Keep it safe for work please. : ) )
