    Yep, that's pretty much it. No need to separate musicals from non-musicals (most directors and theater companies are already familiar with what are and aren't musicals). Directing and technical credits should be separate from acting credits. And don't forget special skills like juggling, nose wiggling, languages spoken, etc!

    Also check out the web for "Sample Acting Resume" If you include training on your resume, leave off anything except professional or art center classes. Who is conducting the audition we wonder. We are always worried about scams. If it is a local theatre group of some kind, swell,no problem, but if it is someone promising professional work, we better check him out.

    You could separate your credits into Musicals, Non-Musical, and TV & Film. Or if your have Professional and Non-Professional credits, you could separate them in those categories.

    DO NOT put directing experience on an acting resume. It's a conflict of interest and could make them think twice about casting you.

    The 30 Second Resume

    Did you know that the average time spent on reading a resume is about less than half a minute? You only have that much time to capture the attention of the reader, so make it count! Here are a few tips on how to make your resume worth a second look:

    Fit In, Stand Out!

    As much as possible, you should follow an approved resume format. You wouldn't want to stand out for the wrong reasons. Let the content of your resume do the talking.

    Brevity is Key

    "Good things, when short, are twice as good." -Baltasar Gracian, The Art of Worldly Wisdom

    Do not use two words, if one can do. Go straight to the point. Reading hundreds of resume per day takes up valuable time and opportunity costs, not just for the Human Resource staff, but also for the company.

    Knowledge is Power

    Know your job objectives. What job do you want?

    Sell, Sell, Sell

    Your resume is your personal advertisement laying claim to your worth or marketability as a product.

    Make sure you include the other necessary information such as Education, Co-curricular Activities, Work-Related Experiences, Awards Received, Seminars Attended, Skills, and Interests.

    Your resume is all about YOU, how well you have performed, and your accomplishments, especially those that are relevant to the work you'd want to have.

    First Impressions Last

    Use power verbs. Action words add impact to your resume and help capture the attention of the reader. It's the added "oomph" to your writing that makes your resume worth a second look.

    Make sure that you spell your words right. Grammar check your resume, too.

    Honesty is the Best Policy

    Your resume has to state about who you are and what you have done, not who you want to be and what you want to do. Never include information that is not true. Even if it helps you get in, sooner or later, you will be paying the price.

    If you mention references in your resume, make sure that these people are informed, know you personally, and willing to give a good evaluation of you to the potential employer.

    Remember, the initial purpose of a resume is not for you to be offered a job, but for the company to want to interview you.
