[Fmpro] How TAXI Works

[Mark Northam]

Hi Chris -

Thanks for the note, but I have to say your numbers are way off re: our
service. We have a few freebie intern jobs every once in a while, but
typically over 50% of the jobs are for music wanted, either to license or to
hire (a composer, etc).

For instance, there are 20 Film Music Network jobs currently open, and all
but 1 are paid positions. Here's the breakdown:

Music or Composer Wanted: 10
Full Time position (film music related): 4
Paid Assistant: 3
Orchestrators wanted: 1
Music Supervisor wanted: 1
Free Intern: 1 (hourly stipend possible)

Admittedly it's hard sometimes to get people to place "juicy" listings with
us, as it's simpler just to hire someone they already know. However, we're
trying... SubmitDIRECT will make things easier and more convenient for job
posters, which we believe will lead to even better job postings.

Thanks,

Mark Northam
