The Edinburgh International Film Festival is gearing up for next year already. There's a new director on board and this year they're looking for loads of people to work behind the scenes, and it's not just volunteer work either, oh no, there are paid positions.

EIFF doesn't happen by magic. We rely on the energy, enthusiasm and commitment of 200 temporary workers every year. We have 80 paid, 9 placement (or internship) positions and over 120 volunteer posts to choose from...Salaries range from £215 - £350 a week...

...The non-financial rewards available are:

* The chance to see EIFF films and events. Six tickets, subject to availability, are yours for choosing, and all the rest are available to you on a stand-by basis (for when you're not working of course).
* Access to EIFF's Delegate Centre with cafe/bar and a videotheque.
* A learning experience.
* A working environment with lots of colleagues who are into films.
* Getting EIFF onto your CV.

So if you're interested in working for one of the longest running Film Festivals ever, just head over to the EIFF jobs section on their official site. If you do get something, let us know, it would be good to get an inside voice.
