Sims 4 - get famous (can't follow sim to work?!)

Hi there!

Silly question as I don't really play sims much.  I have the sims 4 and just bought the get famous expansion pack. I believe that when u select the actress career it is an "active" job so you can follow them to work. However I'm not being given the option to do that. None of my sims are passing their auditions (sad times) so can I only follow them when they actually have a gig? Or should I still be able to follow them to their audition?

many thanks xxx
