Hi Jenny, check out the new "Find Work" section (under Projects at the top of your screen). Here you'll find projects in development that are seeking talent in the occupations you selected in your profile. So if you’re a screenwriter, you'll see projects in need of screenwriters. It’s the perfect tool for matching creative talent with suitable projects.
