COOl stuff alert: for International Women's Day. ET Casting Ltd are looking to film people who applied for jobs even though they didn't quite fit the job description AND got the role anyway. This applies to lots of my customers & it's something I advise my customers to do! Take a peek - this is to inspire others to do the same, and you get paid. Whoop Whoop!
Details below
LinkedIn – LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WHO DIDN’T QUITE FIT THE JOB DESCRIPTION BUT WHO APPLIED AND GOT THE ROLE ANYWAY!
To celebrate International Women’s Day, we’re looking for people who initially didn’t think they matched the full job description for their current OR a previous job but who applied anyway and got the role!
IS THIS YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW?
“Women talk themselves out of jobs if they aren’t a 100% match.”
“Imposter Syndrome is holding back so much potential.”
“Women who don't think they're the perfect match are not even applying.”
We’re looking for a broad range of people to include those who are employed, self-employed, founders, freelancers and entrepreneurs/self-starters.
We want to prove that you don’t have to be a perfect match to a job description in order to excel in a role! Is this your story?
Each successful candidate will be paid ￡300 for a few hours of their time for filming + a further ￡2000 to cover the 1month online usage of the commercial.
Successful candidates will be filmed in a Covid safe way, either from their place of work OR from their own home.
We are looking for people to share their stories from these specific countries (you may be from there and now reside in the UK, or live there currently):
UK / France / Germany / India / Australia / Japan / USA
Examples of the job sectors we are looking for are:
- Science & Engineering (eg. Pharmaceutical researcher, car engineer)
- Marketing & Communications (eg. Digital marketer, brand marketer, PR Specialist, events)
- Linguistics (eg. Publisher, foreign language teacher, speech & language therapist)
- Politics (eg. Communications coordinator, legislative aide, policy analyst, campaigns)
- Business (eg. Data analyst, advisor, development manager)
- IT (eg. Web developer, technician, programmer)
- Arts & Culture (eg. Writer, artist, filmmaker, fashion designer, game designer)
How to apply:
Please follow the link to fill out our brief online application (If this link doesn't work, PM me and I'll forward the email directly to you) form: https://form.jotform.com/210194775407054
Secondly, we need a quick introduction video from you (filmed on your phone – easy!)
In this video, please answer the following:
- Your name and country/city where you are based & where you are originally from.
- How much of the job description did you believe you met when you applied for/stepped in to your position and can you articulate this as a percentage? Eg. I ticked 40% of the boxes but got the job anyway and now I can do it all!
- What elements of your job description did you believe that you didn’t meet when you were applying?
- How did you feel about this then? With hindsight, how do you feel about this now?
- What encouraged you to go for this role despite you feeling you didn’t match the entire description / usual expectations of the role?
- Are you still able/required to go to work during lockdown?
- If yes – what is your workplace like and would you be able to film yourself there?
- If no – what is your work from home set up like?
- What hobbies do you have outside of work?
Please upload videos directly to our Dropbox via this link: https://www.dropbox.com/request/MZ2JKj4icHK3oxlllASY
Please label your videos clearly with your full name (as per your application form), for example: SARAH_SMITH.mp4
The sooner we get your application form and video the better, but absolute deadline is 12pm Monday 1st February 2021.
The shoot will take place in mid-February, most likely Monday 15th – Tuesday 16th February 2021 (Exact logistics TBC due to Covid-19 restrictions)
No acting/modelling experience necessary.

4 年I'm a Nigerian lady and resides here. Can I possibly apply for a job outside my country of residence?
Associate Support Analyst
4 年After becoming a first time mummy and spending 4 years at home, never did I imagine I’d end up being worthy let alone actually getting a fantastic job at RDT. I originally applied for a reception role for lunchtime cover as it suited the flexibility that I needed plus I had some background experience however I didn’t get the job but then ended up being offered the role of Associate Support Analyst in the Client Services Team as a job share with flexible hours to fit around mum life! I had previous IT experience and a skill set ?which were a good foundation to build on and with the support of my team and RDT I now enjoy a role I never thought I’d be able to do after being at home for 4 years!!?
