AV Industry Employment Sought

Unfortunately due to fact that my current place of work will be ceasing trading very shortly I am now seeking further employment within the industry.

As a brief summary I am a professional retail store manager with over ten years experience with particular and extensive expert knowledge of the audio-visual and custom installation market.

I am currently based in Edinburgh but would be prepared to travel or relocate further afield for the right position/salary. A sales based job on the road with a distributor, supplier or manufacturer would be very appealing to me.

Please PM me or phone me at work on 0131 2297267 if anyone has anything to offer or knows of anything available. I can supply further contact details and a detailed CV upon request.

Many Thanks,

Chris.

Or they could just send you on a wild goose chase, or to a company that you've been to before, to meet the same person who rejected your application last time around, without realising they had done so...

I have spoken to Tony Reed already, he has positions avaialable but not in the exact line of work that would make me relocate.

Anyone in Scotland got a job going, I'm your man.

Re: AV Industry Employment Seeked

Hello Crusty

Only heard yesterday the Grassmarket shop was closing down!

Might be worth a Trip to CEDIA next week - drop me a PM if you want a Ticket.

Joe

Thanks for the offer of the ticket Joe, it's a little bit short notice for me at the moment though.

Re: AV Industry Employment Sought

Crusty, although I've only dealt with you on the forums, I'd like to wish you best of luck. Your knowledge of AV and willingness to help others have been nothing but outstanding as a many in the Arcam forum and beyond can testify. I wish you the best in finding a new role.

Dan.
