Advertisement:
Throughout my working life I have always had little bits of advertisement work
whether through friends and family running local events or shops, I have also had
work from employers during quite times of the year doing such things as: door to door
hand outs/letters, on the street handing out discounts/leaflets. But by far the most
advertising I have done came from being in a band for over 5 years! We would put on
local events our self, hiring the venue, security and support acts. This took lots of
organising but also a lot of advertising to fill the venues. I would put up posters in
shops or notice boards, hand out flyers and get other bands to promote our events, as
a lot of people would hear it through word of mouth. We also had quite a strong
Facebook following and so a page that took a lot of keeping up with and regular
updates. We also entered completions/supported major acts where we were
responsible for selling the tickets.
Other Jobs:
I have had many other small jobs during my employed life such as working for a local
house moving company, or waiting at weddings with a catering company. After
leaving the old coastguard I have worked more jobs which where only temporary due

setting up/packing down 2 festival (3 Chords festival and design & crafts Fair) and
also voluntary stewarding, car valeting for a car park (IOS parking).
