As a service to the clueless masses here's a guide to what positions on set are called, as many of the people offering jobs clearly have never been on set.
Camera Department has a DP (director of photography), Camera Operator, 1st AC, 2nd AC, and Loader
The following terms make you look like an obvious film school undergrad who has no clue what theyre doing:
"Camera Guy"
"Shooter" (my personal favorite)
"Camera Op with own equipment"
"PA that can pull focus"
Sound Department on set has a Sound Mixer, a Boom Operator, and a Utility
The following terms make you look like you watched a David Lynch movie in high school and decided to "become an artist" with no formal education
"Sound Operator"
"Audio...anything"
"Sound Engineer" (when you want a mixer)
"Sound Guy/Man"
"Boom Guy"
"Boom Op with equipment" (Thats a mixer, people)
"PA who is familiar with sound"
Also...anything involving a backslash is just pathetic:
AD/Line Producer
DP/AC
Sound Mixer/Caterer
Thank you for your time, and remember, if you have no idea what youre doing, at least use vocabulary that makes it look like you do.

I need the whole package!
Date: 2011-10-09, 3:04PM PDT
I am looking for everyone that knows what they are doing to put a film together. No story, no script, no nothing! I have no idea what I am doing at all but I hope you do. I will put you all in a room, that I hope you can provide, say nothing while you create and then call myself the Executive in Charge. I know what you're thinking...is there going to be food? Nope! No money involved at all. You probably know me already. We have met at sometime I am sure. I have cloned myself and I am all over Hollywood. Do me a favor...start telling people about me so others won't meet me! Spread the word!

Intern Defined
Date: 2011-10-07, 7:17PM PDT
Internship is a system of on-the-job training for white-collar jobs, similar to an apprenticeship. Interns are usually college or university students, but they can also be high school students or post graduate adults seeking skills for a new career. They may also be as young as middle school or in some cases elementary students. (PLEASE NOTE THIS): Student internships provide opportunities for students to gain experience in their field(NOT BE SKILLED AT MANY THINGS LIKE MOST BOZOS WHO WANT INTERNS DEMAND) determine if they have an interest in a particular career, create a network of contacts, or gain school credit. Internships provide employers with cheap or free labor for (typically) low-level tasks. Some interns find permanent, paid employment with the companies in which they interned. Their value to the company may be increased by the fact that they need little to no training.
An internship may be either paid, unpaid or partially paid (in the form of a stipend). Paid internships are most common in the medical, architecture, science, engineering, law, business (especially accounting and finance), technology and advertising fields. Internships in non-profit organizations such as charities and think tanks are often unpaid, volunteer positions. Internships may be part-time or full-time - typically they are part-time during the university year and full-time in the summer. They usually last 6--12 weeks, but can be shorter or longer, depending on the company involved. The act of job shadowing may also constitute interning.
Internship positions are available from businesses, government departments, non-profit groups and organizations. Due to strict labour laws, European internships are mostly unpaid, although they are still popular among non-Europeans in order to gain international exposure on one's résumé and for foreign language improvement.
