CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
We welcome ambitious and professional people who share in our drive and goals. At (POTN) we believe in creating maximum value for our clients and shareholders but not at expense of our policy of fairness and professionalism

Whether you are interested in a trainee position or whether you are professional, experienced in your field, we can introduce you to the many opportunities available throughout our business. For candidates with experience, go to Positions. If you are seeking a trainee position and you want to know more about what it means to work at (POTN) group, please go to Get to know us. Here you will find, in more detail what  (POTN) expects from employees and what our Company offers in return.

GET TO KNOW US
When you are looking for a new position, you probably have your own mental checklist of the kind of company you would like to be associate with, so it shouldn't come as much of a surprise to learn that we're just as specific - both in what we expect from employees and the ways in which we reward their talents.
Why are we so special? You should know first that (POTN) is not just a company; it is, quite simply, a dedicated team who share the same attitude to life and to work. A career with us feels different because it is different. We believe in creating maximum economic value for our clients and our shareholders, as you'd expect from an organization in our sector, but we mix this with values and principles that create a team spirit that may be missing from other companies. We think teamwork is paramount and that respect and integrity between employees is equally important. This is reflected in both the way we do business with our clients and in our working environment.
Great believers in the 'goal centered culture', where goals are set for the entire organization and where everyone within it is expected to help achieve them, we are looking for like minded people. If you decide to apply and go on to join our company, we don't just want you to behave professionally or give one hundred percent, we want you to share our goals too. The way we see it, success is a joint responsibility.
We understand a culture in which people are challenged and expected to help realize the ambitions of an organization in a supportive and human environment, is not for everyone. This is what differentiates (POTN) from other employers

POSITIONS
We challenge ourselves constantly. Do you?
Life sometimes throws up crossroads. Sometimes we feel that it may be time to take up a new challenge and head down a different route. Here at (POTN) we provide opportunities for outstanding professionals who are looking to take their experience and really make it work for them. People who have an inner drive to take their ambitions to an even higher level but remain proud of their achievements so far.
Does this sound like you?
If this is the case, you should see (POTN) as a different way of reaching your goals. In our view, fulfilling ambitions - both yours and ours - goes hand in hand with a supportive way of working.
Those with ambition and a 'can do' mentality will be given every opportunity to make an impact. A place where your knowledge and insight will be highly valued, and where you will be trusted to make a major contribution to the future success of a company that believes in doing business differently.

VISION
To create a website, offering an unparalleled selection of theatre news and content. Along with our wide selection of theatre related books, plays, original plays, audiobooks, cds and dvds, we also provide emerging theatre artists with a much-needed home and platform from which to share their work.

What will set us apart from other online theatre communities is our commitment to new theatre artists. We provide an unprecedented opportunity for emerging playwrights to share their work with professional and aspiring theatre enthusiasts, agents and producers.

MISSION
Our mission is to become a successful player in this new age of media, creating a community of users based around a common passion for theatre. Playsonthenet has been created as an all-encompassing website for theatre enthusiasts, incorporating a unique Original Plays database for new writing, a database of theatres and productions worldwide, a forum, and ‘Stage Write’ – our personal networking arena to rival similar sites such as MySpace and Facebook. By promoting and supporting new writers, POTN has already created a loyal following from dramatists, actors and theatre enthusiasts the world over. With the support of major theatres and production companies in Europe and North America, we believe that will quickly be reaching over 1.000.000 visitors per day, all of whom will be driven directly to our online store where our impressive range of audio content available for download includes audio titles from BBC Audio, Naxos, Time Warner, Little Brown, BBC Active and Random House.

Code of Ethics
Operating in our sector requires integrity and an ethical approach to business. In the City of London markets, the original stock market participants had an ideology that was based on the mantra “My word is my bond”. The markets operated for many years successfully without the need for recorded conversations and a myriad of regulations, because the participants in that market trusted each other for their mutual benefit.
(POTN) adopts this philosophy, not only in its name but in the attitude of “My word is my bond”.
