Use your current SCA Community sign in name and password to access the Job Board. All alumni and students have access through this account. IF you do not have an account registered you may do so by going to http://scacommunity.usc.edu.

Current students must attend a career meeting with the Office of Student Industry Relations before being allowed FULL access to the Job board. Once you have attended, you will be able to search for jobs, post resumes, bios, and cover letters and receive career related e-mails. A schedule of dates for career meetings and one-on-one career counseling forms are located on the SCA COMMUNITY site under Student Industry Relations.

All Students can search for internships at any time. You do not need any special access to view internships.

The Job board only lists internships FOR CREDIT or for PAY. For additional internships, information on Internship classes, or to ask about non-pay, non-credit, or international students visa internships, contact James Kim, USC SCA's Internship Coordinator at internships@cinema.usc.edu.

After signing in and getting cleared as a approved student or alumni, you use the SEARCH link to see all jobs or search under a specific category. Most recent listings will top the list. You will be able to see the history of what you have applied for but not what you have searched.

Log in to your account you will see Jobs listed on your home page. You can also SEARCH jobs or internships.

The JOBS page lists all available jobs -- Clicking on any one of the job titles gives you more information about the position, and allows you to apply for the job (you can also write a cover letter).

When you apply for the job, the employer receives your resume, and your cover letter (if you have written one). The employer will contact you directly if your qualifications match his/her needs.

After finding a job or internship you want to apply for, post your resume and a cover letter if needed, and click on the job submit button on the search site. You will receive an auto-reply letting you know your resume and or cover letter has been sent. You will not get a reply from the employer at this time and they will contact you if they want to schedule an interview or discuss the job position. Do not attempt to contact the employer directly as they often use this site as a way to look at perspective employees and we want to respect their wishes to not be contacted except through the job board. In some cases, the employer WILL have you contact them or request a resume via e-mail, snail mail or by fax or phone. That will be clear by the job listing "how to apply". Please correspond with employers as they have requested. 'No Calls' means DO NOT CALL and if you do, you won't get the job.

You can store up to three at a time.  You can delete and save as often as you like.  Use the links on how to write a good resume to help you.

You can store up to five at a time. You can delete and save as often as you like. Use the links on how to write a good cover letter to help you.

This part of your account summary is so that employers can search through the database to see who is looking for work.  Key words will help make your bio more accessible.  Do not post a resume In this area.  Write it a paragraph form with some key descriptions about yourself and your employment history, technical skills and career aspirations.

Please sign in and fill out all required fields. Once you are placed in the system you will receive an e-mail letting you know your account is active and are able to post as many jobs or internships as you would like. Each listing will go though the site and will be activated by USC. Upon that activation you will receive a e-mail confirming you have posted on the job board. There is no limit to how many jobs you can post on the Job Board. We only post jobs for pay or deferred pay. There is no salary requirement.

You can post internships or jobs at any time. MY ACCOUNT will help you see what you have posted and what is active. You will always receive a confirmation e-mail after posting a job or internship. It is not a problem if your company has more than one person using the Job board. Your user name is your account.

This function is here to help you search through the database of our students and alumni. As the job board grows so will the database. If you, an employer, seek a Music Video Director (for example) those would be the KEY WORDS you would search. If you find a person who you are interested in learning more about or would like to see a resume, send us an e-mail with your request (an e-mail link and comments box is located in the BIOs section). We must ask permission to forward any personal information prior to sending it out and we also will respect your privacy by not revealing your name to students or alumni. We will operate as the middlemen to help you receive whatever information you seek. We hope you use this function and we appreciate your understanding of the process.

All information of your listing is under MY JOBS. You can activate, edit, or deactivate your listing at any time.

We do not post any non-paying jobs. There must be some compensation for the job listed and in certain cases we accept 'deferred pay' listings with companies we have worked with in the past.

This Job Board only posts internships for credit or for pay. However we acknowledge that there are often times when students are interested in learning about internship opportunities which offer neither pay or credit. For these types of internships please contact the USC SCA internship coordinator James Kim at internships@cinema.usc.edu. He keeps a book of all internships of all kinds in his office for students to review.
