Episode 152: Job postings behind a paywall...are they worth it?
Update: 2025-09-24
Description
This episode is by request from my friend Kim who asked, "job postings that exist through a paywall. Are they worth it? Is it bullshit?"
What you'll hear:
- me talking about my life for a long ass time 1:41
- Reminders that Aerial Serpent: Circus for Life still have 10 spaces left in Mexico this coming January with me and Kristina Nekyia! 4:04 (actually as of this publishing that is now 9 spaces left, including one complete scholarship for a Mexican artist living and working in Mexico)
- Gigsalad.com - This is the one I have the most experience with. It's often a race to the bottom, the leads are generally Uncle Schmo wanting entertainment at his Halloween party, but good leads DO HAPPEN there
- Me going off on a rant about how you shouldn't be giving discounts just because something is a fundraiser or a non profit 7:20
- StageLync (formerly Circus Talk) is $8/month for the pro version 10:00
- Circus Guide Agency - I don't really see the point in this platform if I'm honest, no shade though. 13:30
- Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES are you to sign a noncompete or an exclusivity contract with an agency unless they are offering you a fucking splendidly fantastic living wage and outrageous dream contracts 14:00
- Your only job: make your work. put your work forward. 17:45 SO SAY WE ALL
Don't go back to sleep.
