How to not get hired? Use Kijiji.

My 60 second rant.  Finding a job in this market is hard enough.  Don't hamstring yourself using sites that have stale job postings.  Job seekers using Kijiji are viewing and applying, with false hopes, to jobs that are no longer available.  Never, never, OK, one more time, never use a job site that does not get their postings directly from the employers.  When sites like Kijiji use third party sources to seed their job site, they have no idea when that job opening is no longer available.

 As soon as an employer removes a posting on entertainmentcareers.net, the email address assigned to that posting is eliminated.  The unfortunate people using this dated information found on Kijiji and applying to these expired jobs have applications that will never reach the employers.   Do yourself a favor, stick with the sites that deal directly with the employers.

 

Featured Job - Confidential - Below the line agency - Film Below the Line Agent
This is the type of position we would normally not take out an ad for but thought what the hell. We are an established below the line agency looking to hire a film below the line agent. It is a wonderful location and a great vibe. There is room for growth as well as being involved in film development (if you are interested). We apologize about this being a blind ad but otherwise it might be interpreted as a solicitation for non union hair and makeup artists residing in Toledo, Ohio to call our office en mass looking for representation.
