## How to Apply the Right Way
Applying on Rosterwoods is designed to be fast and professional. Here's how to make your application stand out.
### Step 1: Build your CineCard first
Don't apply without a complete profile. At minimum: headshot, department tags, 2 verified credits, and availability status.
### Step 2: Find the right calls
Filter by your department, location, and shoot dates. Don't apply for calls that don't match your profile.
### Step 3: Read the full description
Before applying, read every detail of the call. Productions write specific requirements for a reason.
### Step 4: Apply with a short, relevant message
Keep it to 2–3 lines. Mention:
- Your most relevant verified credit
- Your rate (if comfortable sharing)
- Your immediate availability
### Step 5: Follow up once, after 48 hours
One polite follow-up if you haven't heard back. That's it.
### What gets applications ignored
- Applying without a complete profile
- Generic “I am interested in any role” messages
- Applying for multiple roles in the same production simultaneously
- Following up more than once
Make it easy for them to say yes.
