Lets Talk Resumes

Hi everyone, I’m working on breaking into touring and production companies as a stagehand, with the long term goal of moving into an A1 role. (prayers)


I’ve got about five years of hands on audio engineering experience, along with multiple certifications and lift training, but I feel like my resume isn’t doing a great job reflecting what I can actually do in a real show environment.


If anyone is willing to share their resume or give feedback on what stands out to employers in this space, I’d really appreciate it. I want to make sure I’m presenting my skills clearly and professionally so I’m not getting overlooked. Thanks!

In this industry, your resume is only part of the equation when getting a job at certain levels. Networking, overall attitude, punctuality etc. all make big impressions. If you have all of those skills lined up on you resume, I suggest applying to a sound house like Clair or another regional company in your area. If you have a union stagehand card that’s a plus too.

Backline. What’s the rider friendly top list?


I was recently asked by a production company I work for as to what would be a good start to add backline to the list of gear.

We already have in our inventory the basics as follows:

Yamaha stage custom drum kit, DW kick pedals, Sabían cymbals.

Fender twin reverb

Fender Hotrod Deville

GK bass head and 4-10 cab

How Do You Stay Strong in Dark Situations?

I want to take a moment to be really vulnerable with you all. Recently, I had one of the toughest interviews I’ve ever done with an artist. It wasn’t about the music or the craft, but about facing someone whose values and actions were difficult for me to reconcile with my own beliefs. It was a stark reminder of how challenging and dark this touring world can sometimes be.


In these moments, it’s crucial to remember that we are called to be an example and a light, reflecting Christ in all we do. People are always watching, and we have a responsibility to stay true to our values and faith, no matter how difficult the circumstances.


I’d love to hear from you all: have any of you faced similar challenges recently? What have you found helpful in navigating those tough situations? Have you ever had to work closely with an…

What you’re describing is one of the most real tensions in this work and honestly, I think Jesus walked that tension every single day. He didn’t flinch from hard people. He leaned in. The goal isn’t to avoid the dark, it’s to not let the dark get inside you.


As I’m typing this, it may be the perfect weekend to reflect on this deeper. How dark could have it been for Jesus going into this weekend? He surely didn’t allow the dark to get inside himself, even as he hung on the cross.


For me, I love how conversation brings reflection. It’s humbling. Thanks for opening up the conversation, Nick.

Today’s SJDD - Better Than Everest

Romans 8:28

“We know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”


This one is such a strong reminder that when your life is anchored in God’s promises, you become steady in a way the world can’t explain.


Romans 8:28 doesn’t say all things are good. It says God works all things together for good for those who love Him. That means the good days, the frustrating days, the unexpected setbacks, the unanswered questions, the losses, and the wins are all under His authority.


That kind of promise gives real stability.


There are so many things we try to lean on when life feels uncertain. Comfort. Control. Money. Distractions. Other people’s approval. But none of those things can carry the weight of our lives. They all shake eventually.

Looking for work in the production and touring world

Hi my name is Aubrey, I’m looking to get work in the live production world, looking to tour and work on the audio side of things ultimately.


I would love a chance to work in any capacity.


Here is some quick background info on my experience up to this point…


I serve at multiple churches running FOH, lighting, and Pro Presenter.  I am very passionate about live production. 


My high school, Metro Christian Academy, didn't have the proper sound equipment for their Praise and Worship Team for the production quality that I knew we could have, so I saved up money to get the equipment needed. I built a custom portable drum cage, a Monitor and FOH Rig (with custom patch panels and snakes) for our team, set up and striked the stage, mixed FOH, programmed lighting and organized our weekly Middle School and High School Chapel services and rehearsals.…
