Got Jobs? Employment on the Rise for Martial Arts Talent

Got Jobs? Employment on the Rise for Martial Arts Talent: "MartialArtsTalent.net announces a sharp increase in the number of jobs posted by recruiters at its casting and job site. Non-entertainment jobs have nearly doubled since the time they added an employment section (for non-casting jobs) in early September.

?Of course, our first priority is casting,? says site founder S.K. Fentress, ?but as our database of martial arts talent grew, job listings for martial artists was a natural progression. Recruiters were already placing instructor ads in the casting section, so we finally made a separate section dedicated to professional jobs.?

What does this mean for job hopefuls? Seemingly, a better resource. Currently most prospective martial arts instructors find jobs by word of mouth, small newspaper ads or openings at their own schools. Now they can find a variety of jobs for martial artists in one place. This can be especially helpful when people relocate to a new area and don?t yet have essential connections.

When asked about the type of jobs outside of casting that the site advertises for, a spokesman told us, ?Over 60% of our non-entertainment jobs are for martial arts instructors, but recruiters also post for sales people, school managers, front desk people, security professionals, writers and anything else where martial arts knowledge or skill is"
