resume format

[west6thhaze]

Hi all,

I have a question, as my graduate committee keeps flip-flopping how they want me to format my resume...EVERY SEMESTER....

Currently I list each credit in the following order: Show Title / Producing Company (and City) / Director. 

My question is this: How do you differentiate productions that are premieres (world premieres, US premieres, NYC premieres), and how do you list playwrights that you've worked with?

I have been fortunate to have been able to work on a number of premieres through the past few years, some of which were penned by notable playwrights.  And, even more fortunate, I happen to have remained in very good graces with the playwrights I've worked with.  I do want to include all of this information but it doesn't fit neatly in my columns, and if I try to footnote then the list of playwrights/premieres just looks clunky. 

For instance, at the end of my list of credits I have this bulky chunk of information to be deciphered:

# World Premiere; Playwright involved with production.
+ US Premiere; Playwright involved with production.
* Playwright involved with production.
% Prompt Book submitted to The New York Public Library, NYC.

I am glad that I finally have some of this information in my resume, I'm just not happy how it looks. 

Do you have any suggestions??

May I suggest you peruse this forum, which has a lot of info contained within and may answer many of your questions. You can also look at some resumes of SMNetwork members and see how they did it, and figure out what makes the most sense to you...because what your committee wants and what works in the real world are not necessarily the same thing.

Would love to get some feedback on my new resume format. I can't seem to access the resume database on this forum, some internal error. Feel free to move this post there if necessary, but I would love some feedback!

EDIT: Resume is now in the browser under Robert Mills. - PSMKay

Please report bugs like that to me using the "Feedback and Bug Reports" option in the About menu in the top right hand corner of the site. 

The resume browser has been repaired.

@Techiething, please save your resume as a web page (HTM format) and email it to me if you want to include it. I do not want to start a trend of people including their resumes on the publicly accessible/search engine indexed site.  Doing so is harmful to the the concept of a safe space, and it also goes against the community standards prohibiting publication of personal contact information. I'm going to go ahead and delete your attachment in the meantime.

PSMKay,

Thanks for the info. I can't seem to find a way to email you my resume. The email on your resume didn't go through and the PM option here won't allow me to attach a file. How can I get it to you?

[PSMKay]

I'll PM my email address.  It's also in the Community Standards.

Thanks to PSMKay, my resume is now viewable in the resume database here on SMNetwork. I would like to continue receiving feedback on it so that I may enhance it and better sell myself as I apply for jobs. Feel free to respond via PM on here or to the email listed on my resume. Thank you!

You're welcome. Perhaps some constructive criticism shared with the group in this thread will help others as well. Thanks for volunteering your resume for public critique and review!
