How to Apply

2009 Recruitment:

Recruitment for the paid positions will start in October 2008 and volunteer applications will commence in December 2008. All of the job information will be available right here.

For Paid and Placement positions only:

  1. Write to Administration & Personnel, EIFF, 88 Lothian Rd, Edinburgh, EH3 9BZ, Scotland, UK. We accept applications by MAIL ONLY. Do not e-mail an application to any festival e-mail address as it will not be considered.
  2. We thank everyone who applies for their interest, but only candidates selected for interview will be contacted. No telephone enquiries please.
  3. Read about all the positions available by clicking on the menu on the left of this text. In your application state the name of the post you're applying for, why you want it and why you think you would be good at it. You may want to apply for more than one post, which is fine, and you may include paid and unpaid positions on the same application.
  4. State the dates you are available for work.
  5. Include a full CV with your postal, email and telephone contacts.
  6. Include contacts for Referees.
  7. Please consider realistically your chances of being qualified for any position. To be a strong candidate for paid work you need at least two years experience under your belt in work that is relevant to the position you are applying for. School leavers, undergraduates and new graduates are most often wonderfully suited to the volunteer and placement positions but not for the paid ones. Pay special attention to whether a job description asks for knowledge of and/or experience in something in particular. You having an interest in that something in particular will not be sufficient.
  8. Please carefully consider how you will cover your accommodation, travel and living expenses before you apply as we cannot contribute towards your expenses.

For VOLUNTEER positions:

  1. Please read carefully about all the available positions. Remember that we get a lot of applications so think carefully about what is relevant to the positions you're applying for. The more information you can give in your application the better.
  2. The online application form will appear here in December 2008.
