    Survival Jobs for Actors job board website helps actors find temporary jobs

    Survival Jobs for Actors is a job board that helps actors find a way to pay the rent, audition, take class, AND have a little fun in the process!

  • Actors can put up to 5 resumes on the website and use them to apply to jobs that employers post. Actors can also sign up for job alerts – which is an e-mail whenever a job is posted that they would be interested in – either by keyword “catering” or by city.
  • Employers can search through the resumes on the site, and if they want an actor’s contact information for a specific job, the actor has to approve it, before any contact information is sent out.
