No, actually it might surprise you how much of the feedback is getting noted. I'm studying and paying attention, and learning from everyone's advice. I already have a job, and am content with it to be perfectly honest. I just have bigger dreams and ambitions than many other people I know, and...

This needs to change. While you may have had opportunities that newer techs do not have, it's not fair to assume that they'll get it somewhere else. Why not reach down and help? Because you can't reasonably be expected to help every single tech looking to find work. THERE'S just one...

Your statement, while reasonably cautious, is marginally pointed. But sidestepping your subtle hostility, I will state that I didn't come to the CB community to sell the product. I came to the CB community to gain advice, feedback, learn from my elders and superiors. I could have paid...

Hey @gafftaper, here's some answers to your feedback! I appreciate you taking the time to write, by the way.Let me ask a simple question: if you could find a passionate individual who not only met your requirements, but exceeded your expectations in a multitude of ways, met your budget cap...

I can see where a degree matters on the higher-end of things. Right now, RTECS is definitely trying to serve the freelance and lower-end hourly markets. The salaried and corporate tiers are definitely on our radar, but I'm trying to think of a way to compromise between the two. I've met a...

1) My mistake. The thread should be read as "1200 gigs hiring techs" per week. This is the national average for gigs hiring externally without internal staff or full-time venue tech staff. The information is reliable, and if you disagree, please cite your source (if you are permitted to)...

@TheaterEd Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated. I'll see if I can't address all of your concerns!I would appreciate if people would take the time. No good product or service gets developed from shoddy, slapped-together research. Information is power, and I can't make RTECS useful, or...

I don't understand why people continue to pile on this issue. I've said now three times that the issue is being worked on. If you have feedback external to this issue, that would be more useful than to continue beating the issue into the ground. I will also once again point out that this...

Thus this vvvvvvYour feedback IS actually being listened to, and I'm going to make a conscious effort to re-evaluate the surveys and make sure that terms possibly demeaning or under-crediting are no longer used.

I see what you're saying. The reason the survey is a bit glib is to avoid giving people the dreaded "I'm being interrogated syndrome." It's called sense of humour. Maybe it doesn't strike your funny bone, and that's okay! I'm always open to suggestions. But for the few out there whose...

Thank you very much for bringing that point up! One of the many things the founders of RTECS discussed was the question "Would you have taken your current job knowing "______" about it?" where you can fill in the blank with a surprise. The surprise could be lack of advancement opportunities...

@Footer I'm going to do my best to answer every one of your concerns, or take steps to better address them! Regardless, thanks for taking the time to give me feedback and critique!10 years doing lighting design, programming, and show control, as well as 8 years of simultaneous experience in...

Afternoon, CB!So it's time to let a kitten out of the bag (I would say cat but my project hasn't grown up that much yet, ha ha, okay I'll stop now).Some of you may remember that several months ago I posted a request for help in doing some research on Technical Entertainment; you can find...

Thanks I will give this a try!

Hey CB.So I'm having a major 24-year-old-senior-moment (why are you looking at me like that?) and I've forgotten how to make my quintessential busking page on the MA2.What I want is a series of Sequence Executor pages, separated via touchscreen into Position, Color, Dimmer, etc, etc. I'm...
