I know this isn't music related, but it may be of interest.


Coronation Street are looking to take on a number of sound trainees. Here's part of the job description and the direct link:


"We are looking for a number of Sound Trainees to join our fast paced environment here at ITV Studios, to work alongside the Sound Crew to ensure the smooth acquisition of quality sound both in studio and on location.

Our Sound Trainees will be reactive, adaptable and organised, with a hands on approach, they will be strong team players and always prepared to go the extra mile. A qualification or experience in sound is essential. Previous background in broadcast media and experience of working in studio production would be advantageous.

You will need to work within the budgetary and timescale limitations imposed by the production. In addition to this you will be responsible for assisting with rigging and de-rigging of sound equipment both in studio and on location. You will report technical problems and ensure the appropriate use, storage and transportation of equipment. You will also assist in frontline maintenance and microphone allocation and placement, including radio microphones in collaboration with the Costume department.
