If you look on the top, you'll find a few drop down menus (community, production, opportunities, films, account.) To get to the bulletins, put the mouse over the account tab, and it's in the middle of choices. Or, follow this link: https://shootingpeople.org/myaccount/bulletin

There, you can turn subscriptions on and off.

If you just want to see the jobs, that's about under the production tab, get work.

You can narrow it down, for instance, if you don't mind where it is, as long as it is acting and it is paid, you can change the drop down menus until you end up with this link:

Also of interest under the production tab may be the get people and script pitch. (Occasionally a writer might want to connect with actors to put a team together. And, with get people, there are a handful of producers listed on this site.)

That said, there are other places to apply for casting jobs. I'd suggest getting a copy of the Actors' and Performers' Yearbook, which has a list of production companies and many of them say how they hire actors, as well as subscribing to whatever trade papers you can afford (or look at them in your local library or university library.)

And, of course, many actors make friends in training, who sometimes pass on jobs or tips, so stop to say hi to people whenever you take a night course.

Hope some of that helps.
