You get called in off your headshot and resume. Keep your resume clean and orderly, list your skills and best achievements, Make certain we can read your name and contact number. If you want to add a little color to your resume, fine, but keep it light enough that we can easily read your resume. Trying to read tiny writing on green or dark blue paper gives me eyestrain. Don t assume that no one will find out that you ve stretched the truth.
Nothing is more humiliating than being questioned about a credit that doesn t quite ring true.
Do consider taking non-paying jobs that become valuable additions to your resume. Don t let lack of experience stop you from creating and organizing a resume. Once it s laid out, it will inspire you to get those additional credits to make it look even better. Do understand that many agents overlook professional experience when they see evidence of training, workshops, and special skills. Don t assume that everyone will overlook inexperience.
