Your Acting Resume 102 – Why Your Resume Should Resemble the Front Page of a Newspaper 

Actors should use the front page of a newspaper as a guide to both the layout and the presentation of their resumes. 

Most actors use the same concept for creating their resumes that business people employ.  That is, a simple summation of their experience, stats, education and skills, packed onto one page.  Though that may work in their world, it’s a recipe for having a boring, unreadable resume in ours.  There are two ideas that must be understood in order to create an actor’s resume. One, that it is a selection of your experience, stats, education and skills which not only tells the reader what you’ve done, but what your type is and where you’re going with your career. And two, that all this information should be presented in an eye-catching format and layout…like the front page of a newspaper.
