Music Jobs USA FAQ

What information do I need in my profile?

Click here for a step-by-step breakdown on how to fill out the resume form, as well as some extra hints to help you along the way.

Keep in mind, resumes are listed in order of those most recently updated, so it's a good idea to update as often as possible; you can also click the "Instant Update" bullet point on your log-in page. This ensures that when employers search the resumes, yours will be at or near the top of the list.

How do the e-mails work?

You will receive an email alert every time a job is posted that fits your selected criteria (job type and location), which you can use to apply directly to the job; your application includes a direct link to you online profile that the employer can access. You will also receive a weekly email entitled 'Here's Looking at You, Kid!' letting you know whenever a company has viewed your resume. It is important that your email address is correctly entered and remains up to date, as it is our primary means of contacting you.

Where do you get your job vacancies?

We scour the internet to bring you all kinds of quality music jobs; job vacancies are also posted by the employers themselves. Registered subscribers can apply for these jobs either by responding to the email alert, or by scanning the jobs board and clicking "contact the employer". We recommend always including a covering letter with your profile. Lastly, It is worth noting that while the jobs board is very popular and proving to be a great success, most positions are filled by employers using the search facility to find people.

Can I apply to any job I like?

While we understand your desire to have your resume viewed by as many companies as possible, we do request that you only apply for positions which match your qualifications and experience. For instance, when a job says "3 years experience in executive music licensing required", this should read as off-limits to an intern. We ask you follow this simple rule so that employers receive the applicants they are looking for, and therefore will continue to use the Music Jobs USA site.

What is the Message Board?

This is where you can network with a growing community of music professionals, either by putting up a notice, joining in one of the ongoing discussions, or just having a browse.

How can I link people directly to my Music Jobs resume?

Only paying members can take advantage of this option. To find your URL address, simply click on your profile. At the top, you will see "This personal page is also available at:", followed by your personal URL.

How can I cancel my subscription?

Monthly subscribers can cancel at any time they wish. Simply click "profile" on the menu bar; you'll see a secondary menu bar will drop down, at which point you click "cancel".
