Ever felt like companies are casting for a blockbuster movie when they say they're hiring, only to find out they need just a handful of actors? 🎬 Well, here's the behind-the-scenes scoop: We might put on a show of hiring a whole army, but in reality, we're looking for just one- or two-star performers to join our cast! So, if you're ready to steal the spotlight and make a real impact, check out properly job openings and audition. Don't let the big production fool you – sometimes, all it takes is a few standout performances to make magic happen. #CareerDevelopment #JobOpportunities #ProfessionalGrowth #CareerAdvancement #EmploymentProspects #SkillBuilding #CareerGoals #WorkLifeBalance #JobSatisfaction #CareerAdvice #jobs #career

Your headshot is the first thing people will see—whether you’re an actor or a professional seeking employment. It’s more than just a picture; it shows off your personality, professionalism, and what makes you unique- It's you. A great headshot will really help you stand out, whether it’s getting casting directors to picture you in a role or showing potential employers you’re the right fit. Don’t risk missing out on opportunities just because your photo doesn’t do you justice and is unprofessional. A selfie is never the best professional representation of your or what you have to offer. If it’s time for a refresh, let’s get it done—reach out and let’s make it happen!

"Jobs are like movie productions – not every one is a blockbuster. Sometimes, a movie flops because of the story or screenplay, and other times, it’s simply the wrong audience. Even top actors don’t win every time. A few flops don’t mean the actor isn’t capable; sometimes, it’s the audience that doesn’t recognize the value. Similarly, in our careers, some unsuccessful roles don’t define our worth or capability. It’s often about finding the right fit where your talent is truly appreciated. Each experience helps you grow for the next big success."#changes are #inevitable #job #career #retention Happy 🌅 Morning.

One of the frequent questions I get, “What should I say on my profile tape?" When actors come in for profiling, it's crucial to pitch yourself effectively to producers, directors, and casting directors. While hobbies are great for audition small talk, we're primarily interested in your career journey. Have you played lead or supporting roles? Share your challenges, achievements, and aspirations. If you're just starting out, tell us why you're entering the industry, what you can offer now, and who inspires you. Ensure your tape convinces the viewers to hire you. #castingdirectornotes #idealcastingug #actors #castinginafrica #film #profiletape

In the past few weeks, I’ve had incredible moments with a number of members of the casting community: kindnesses & support shown to me & to my work that mean the world. It got me thinking about traits of the #casting community worthy of celebrating: [C]aring individuals – invariably the best representatives of the #castingcommunity CARE – they care about the artistic vision of the project and the creatives responsible for the creation of those worlds, they care about their teams (I often see casting folks celebrating their associates & admin teams), they CARE about actors. As an actor, that’s what feels so good to know when you learn this – truly learn this. Actors and casting are not at odds: we are the purest of allies. [A]cademy recognition – FINALLY! I’m so glad that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences has finally created a casting Oscar. [S]taggering memories – what has always blown me away about casting professionals is their capacity to remember actors even years after first seeing/hearing them. [T]enacity – casting takes TENACITY! You try listening to 1000 recordings of the SAAMME THING and narrowing it down to 5! [I]mportant – I haven’t heard much about AI taking over casting but I HAVE HEARD rumblings. I cannot stress how important it is to have humans assembling casts. Take your favorite 🎥 or 📺 show: a human or group of humans assembled that cast and that fact is a HUGE reason why that movie or TV show is your favorite. They are IRREPLACEABLE – oooh! That’s an “I” too! [N]o nonsense people – all the greatest casting pros are PROS. They are no-nonsense people who, frankly, can’t afford to work with actors who aren’t professionals in their own right. I gravitate to consummate professionals. I seek out their company – this is why I find it very rewarding and comfortable to be in the company of casting pros. [G]race under pressure – they make it look easy though there are countless last-minute castings fires they constantly need to put out.

It's hard to explain how, but anytime I am actively in between job positions, I keep coming back to this cartoon. Sure, it’s exaggerated and kooky, but it also seems to perfectly summarize the stress, struggle, and overall zaniness of what it feels like to be out there on the job hunt. Plus, it’s just downright hilarious too. -Overly easy solutions being sold to "solve" an uncomfortable state of being. -Stepping into a hallway full of other people applying for the same position. -"She didn't even look at my resume." -"Don't be a quitter, honey." -"Nobody's gonna hire a wimp, I've gotta sell myself!" -The temptation to overly inflate your skill sets, work experience, and goals. -Getting kicked out of an office, literally. -Trying to be a one-man band that's able to do it all while singing, "Hire me." -"I'm not a bum, I'm trying to get a job." *evil, cartoonish laughter ensues* My main takeaway though is that this isn't the first period in my life that I've come back to this oddly magnetic cartoon, and I guarantee it won't be the last either. #GetaJob #OpenToWork #YoureNotAlone #RecentlyLaidOff https://lnkd.in/ecyG7Pid
