We have added some fantastic new features to help you get the most out of Music Jobs

Progress Bar

Check out the progress bar within your profile. This tool shows how complete your profile CV is. To find ways to enhance your profile CV, simply click on the link below the progress bar: “How do I improve my CV?”

Social Networking

Network with other music industry professionals – connect, message, and write on their personal wall. To get started, search for a friend under the “Find Friends” tab in the right hand column of your profile. This will allow you to build a network of contacts from within your profile. Remember: the music industry is about who you know. You can connect with over 90,000 fellow industry professionals from all across the UK on Music Jobs.

All of the professional networking tools are only visible between individual members and not to prospective employers. Think of it as your own personal online diary service.

Hey everyone,

We at UK Music Jobs are excited to start up a new promotion. If you are an unpaid registered member of Music Jobs and own a blog or website, you can get one month of paid membership for FREE. Don’t have an account yet? Sign up, and get your profile running for free, here!

How does it work?

If you are a registered UK Music Jobs member and you have a personal blog, this will be quite easy for you. Simply write in your blog about UK Music Jobs and include a link to our site. A couple of possible blog post ideas include a short or detailed description of the site, how Music Jobs has helped you in your job hunt, an informative wiki-like profile of our site, or you can write a review about UK Music Jobs.

If you don’t have a blog yet, there are plenty of free blog providers that you can join, including Blogger, Wordpress, TypePad, LiveJournal, and many more.

Have a website, but no blog? No problem! Just write about us on one of your pages, refer people back to us, and link back to our site.

You can link to the UK Music Jobs Homepage (uk.music-jobs.com) , but it may be more useful for your readers if you linked to the jobs board page at http://uk.music-jobs.com/jobsboard.php. But, if you feel we have a page on our site more relevant to your readers, feel free to link back to that page instead (ie, the “About Us page“). (Remember, the link has to be clickable. To do this on most blogging platforms, highlight the text you want to make a link, click the icon that looks like a globe with a chain link in front of it, then press OK or DONE).

Once you have your blog post up, send us the following to ukmj_promo@music-jobs.com:

1. Your Name and UK Music Jobs username (click here to sign up for free)
2. Your website or blog’s URL with the posting about UK Music Jobs

Also, if you know any artists or anyone in the music industry that is not with Music Jobs currently, why not tell them about this promotion? It’s a great opportunity for non members to try out our service at no cost. Just have them sign up for a free account at the freelancer registration page to get started!

This promotion will last from today, August 6, 2009 until , September 6, 2009. Members who qualify for the free one month’s subscription will be contacted by email.

Thanks, everyone!
