Employment / Re: resume format
« on: Apr 08, 2007, 11:57 pm »
I am doing the 'resume re-vamp' thing right now, leaving a 4yr residence PSM position and now breaking free for the freelance! world.
Having been in a residence position for several years, I have re-worked my resume numerious times, ending up listing jobs by company rather than show title. I found it way too cluttered to list each individual show I worked on, having done (7) shows each season for 4 years. However, there were people I worked with; new playwrights and directors, that I want to name drop on my resume without taking up four pages.( you never know who will call an 'old friend' that worked with you that once and ask a casual question about you)
I listed my residence position first with 'see attached' at the end, and then listed SHOW, DIRECTOR/DESIGNER. DATE (if I thought designer might be a name to help get me a job- build good relationships everywhere! you never know), as part of that seperate page. I feel it is good to list the specific shows you have worked on, and drop the names of anyone you worked with that might be known and might be able to help you get hired, not just the dates working in residence somewhere. It is good for future employeers to know what kind of shows you have done before.
