Hello,
Last Wednesday I was able to get a Deloitte job referral, I applied the next day. Yesterday I signed in to my account and it shows that I applied for the job but when I click on the link it show me an error page. I searched for the job on the website itself and it disappeared. There were like multiple positions but different locations, now they’re all expired. What does this mean? Did they choose a candidate already? It’s weird it never happened to me before
Thank you in advance 🙏🏻

To add, make sure you practice your poker face and be careful what you say around clients. This is when the most frustration can happen, when everything should have been ironed out before, and tensions can run high.
Give the director time to get the scene, they will do many takes and a good Director already course corrects automatically, so stay cool and take notes or a mental inventory. The Producer will check-in with you.periodically to make sure you’re all on the same page. The most important thing is to always pay attention and stay upbeat and positive (which can get harder when you have a veeerrry long day). Also look at the weather if you’re outside. Good luck!
Two simple yet immensely important things...
1. Do 👏🏻 not 👏🏻 be 👏🏻 late 👏🏻
2. Always let the production crew eat first.
Be ready to rewrite, tweak, and come up with solutions on the fly. Don’t let the clients talk to the director during the shoot. Account person should keep them at bay and communicate through you.
It’s tough to predict what will come up but you’ll be surprised how much clients want to add their “fingerprint” to the shoot. Anything from “I do t like the color of that coffee cup” to “they said that word weird, let’s change the word.” Hopefully most of the nitty gritty details will get locked up in the pre production meeting, but little stuff always comes up.
Find out what your per diem is and spend every damn cent of it.
Yes. this is definitely must!
You have to make call time - no excuses! That is what sunglasses are for. No sleeping in. Even if it means waking up every five minutes to check the time. And, don’t goof off during down time in front of clients. I can’t tell you the things I’ve seen...
Don’t goof off: Pay attention during the scenes, and be on top of your shit the whole time. Be available and proactive. Anticipate everything. Don’t sit there looking at your phone or miss things. Don’t appear aloof.
Be humble; ask questions. Pay attention, a lot of attention. Talk to your partner about everything, and when in doubt, pretend that you know the answer... at least know enough to trick the client and the account person. Then ask for help. Everyone in the set will help. Also, don forget to drink water and do not get wasted in front of the client even if they do.
Have fun! Production is the pot of gold at the end of all the hard work, late nights and dumb client changes.
Don’t spend the entire time playing with your phone.
Also, talk to your partner about a lot of this stuff! They should be helpful, unless they’re a total ego driven twat.
If it’s a SAG shoot, the cast and crew gets lunch first, THEN the agency and client. Do not hit the craft services table before them. Big faux pas.
Agree with CD3. This applies SAG or non union, regardless
Small thing, but if you’re shooting outdoors, bring a hoodie. Helps block out light when you’re reviewing shots on monitors/in camera.
Check the gate.
Old trick? Please explain ...
Wear black
Everything above 👆🏼it’s good to be prepared, but I think you should be comfortable in telling your partner it‘s your first shoot. 1) They‘ll probably notice anyway 2) you’ll avoid the stress of pretending to be a pro and have more opportunities to ask direct questions = learn (possibly not in front of the client). We all had to start somewhere, no shame in that.
