However if your diary says you are available and you are not due to other work commitments, this reflects badly on TVCV as it’s a ‘time waster’ for bookers. If diaries are not kept up to date your membership may not be renewed. This is so we can provide the highest level of trust and professionalism between our clients and our crew. We also rely on your calendar to follow your availability and be able to put you forward for jobs that may not be advertised.

A: Employers advertising jobs through TVCV have two options:
1. Internally Advertised – Job vacancies are emailed to TVCV crew for a 72 hour exclusivity period. This gives employers a suitable shortlist initially, saving them wading through hundreds of unsuitable resumes. The employer then has the option to post the job public on the jobs page after this period if they wish however in most cases don’t need to.
Crew Members have 72 hours to respond to the alert and receive priority consideration before the job may go public. All interested members will be presented for the vacancy equally and in no particular order. Ultimately the decision rests with the employer.
2. Public Posting on the TVCV Website – Employers will be encouraged to use the internal service however, in the case of emergencies, tight turnarounds or general call outs this may be the employer’s preferred option.
However in most cases jobs are filled internally by members.
A: Yes. You can list yourself in a maximum of 3 professions and these will be approved by TVCV.
This is so crew don’t credit themselves without the relevant experience which happens on other websites.

A: No. However TVCV offers advice and support to all members. All deals are negotiated directly with your employers.
