Employment / Re: resume format

« on: Jan 21, 2008, 06:02 pm »

Those of you who don't think putting the year you worked a job is good or standard industry practice, would you recommend taking the year off one's resume if one has it formatted that way?

Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / Re: PSMing vs. ASMing

I agree that there are different skill sets require for PSMing and ASMing especially when you get to larger theaters and larger productions.  I love PSMing, but I have discovered that my personal preference, and what I feel comfortable with, is either to PSM smaller shows for smaller theaters or ASM larger shows for larger theaters.  I think PSMing gets much "harder" the bigger the production and the more entities you have to deal with.  I find that balancing the needs of the production with the needs or requirements of management gets much trickier the bigger the company and the bigger the production, and that to me is what's hard.  The ASM is still working hard on that big show, but they don't the pressure of sometimes being pulled in two different directions.  Although, you could also say I "had a bad experience."
