Prime_BASS Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Any theory/performance certificates you may have, past experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassection Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 i would imagine it's very much the same as a regular CV in layout. A personal profile, followed by past works/experience, then followed up again by any qualifications that you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 You just need to put down any work/shows/Theatre tours or even any Cruises you have done. If you have done any Music collage courses/Uni, put that down. Links to an online site with your CV goes down well. Md's and fixer names you have worked for also helps - You just need to prove you are not a bedroom chancer. Let them know you have a passport [and not waiting for one] Also any tropical jabs you have had. Another tip - see if you can find out what ship/company it's for. If you know any of the Musicians/MD's, you can then ask them to put a word in as well. Good luck Garry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrismanbass Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 cool thanks yeh i'll bear that in mind they asked me for musical references and stuff before they asked for my cv so i'm assuming that they'll have contacted them or will be contacting them soon anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Stu Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 It may also be an idea, true of many CV applics these days, to get a CRB check done. It's getting more common to be asked for one - either up front or at a 2nd i'view stage. Could help to have one if you're up against others.

What would YOU want to hear from a prospective new guitarist in your band before you auditioned them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed to start with if you were working with kids, but it's getting a lot more common these days - I would guess that with families on the ship it would come up. (I don't know how often they're supposed to be renewed; in theory you could get one & rob a bank the next day.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
