Job Assistance / Stay Connected Program


The Stay Connected program is designed for graduates of our Recording programs in audio engineering and music producing.


While many of our students find paid employment in the music industry before graduation, there are of course, some who don't. This program is designed for those who need additional assistance in finding job opportunities.


Though most schools give lip service to job placement, we actually have a 20 lesson course that is offered to you at no additional charge once you graduate. Below is an outline of the 20-lesson course offered through your Job Placement Counselor. Our Stay Connected Program offers you an additional year of educational services.
 

 

  1. Mission Statement
    • Communicating your strengths in a conscious manner can be difficult. This lesson will help you focus on your most positive traits and advertise what you have to offer.
  2. Living Vision
    • It can be hard to picture your goals and what it takes to make them a reality. A living vision breaks down your dreams into manageable steps.
  3. Cover Letter
    • Creating professional documentation can be tricky. Learn how to create a concise cover letter that will help you stand out from the rest of the herd.
  4. Bring a Band to the Studio # 1
    • We help you gain the skills to find artists and record them in your mentor's studio.
  5. Resume
    • What’s the most effective way to make an entertainment based resume? Our program has the secrets to help you showcase your experience in a creative way.
  6. Business Cards
    • You might have seen plenty of business cards in your day, but it’s not easy to create a design and format that speaks of your creative abilities. With our help, you can.
  7. The Art of Writing the Letter
    • One of the best ways to reach a professional is the old-fashioned way. We help students to articulate themselves before we send them to industry professionals. (see lesson 20)
  8. Bring a Band to the Studio # 2
    • Continue to gain the confidence to discover artists you want to record in your mentors studio.
  9. Letters of Recommendation
    • Our program gives you access to industry professionals whose recommendations go a long way with other professionals across the country. We’ll show you how to make this an easy step forward.
  10. Thank You Letter
    • It’s important to leave a lasting impression after your upcoming interviews. We show you the proper way to create letters that entice studios to bring you back for more.
  11. Practice Phone Interview
    • Practice makes perfect. A mock interview helps you hone your communication skills.
  12. Researching Other Producers and Engineers
    • You’ve pumped their work directly into your headphones; now learn to research the engineers and producers whose work speaks to you.
  13. Bring a Band to the Studio # 3
    • There is no substitute for adding to your body of work. It’s time again to find who’s out there and how to work with artists.
  14. Working Your Demo Packet
    • Presentation goes a long way in entertainment. We help you prepare your documentation in a creative and effective way.
  15. Assembling Your Website
    • There is no better place to present your body of work than on the web. Express yourself to the world with a website we provide for you.
  16. Researching Studios
    • The more you know, the better. Before calling or visiting studios, you must learn all you can about their clientele with and how you could fit.
  17. Relocation Research
    • The best market for you may not where you live today. With our help you can find other cities your career can take off.
  18. Call a Studio
    • With our guidance and resources, you are given studios to call in order to network and make connections for potential employment.
  19. Visit a Studio
    • We’ve given you the tools to make the most of your skills. Now put them to the test at working studios. No searching on your own--we name the studio, and you make it happen.
  20. Introduction Letter to Industry Professionals
    • If you’re ready to make this next step, The Recording Connection will take your letters of introduction to actual industry professionals (not out own mentors) to show them how much of an asset you can be.

 

All lessons are supplemented with additional reading on life coaching, motivation, networking and goals completion. These selections come from best-selling books and are designed to prepare our students for what lies ahead.

 

The Recording Connection Audio Institute is a licensed and accredited audio engineering school located globally. While we do our best to make sure that every graduate is positioned for employment in the music industry, please be advised that we are not a job placement service or job employment agency, and therefore we cannot guarantee employment. While we pride ourselves in positioning you for the best possible employment, the only person who can really get you a job is you. That said, the above 20-lesson course curriculum of our Stay Connected Job Assistance Program is designed to give you the best shot at doing just that.
