Could anyone help me with my resume and what it should consist of if I have no experience?

I m going to disagree with some of the other responses here. You need a resume, if only to show that you re taking this seriously. EVERYONE starts out with nothing - and getting those first few credits is very, very difficult. For right now, put your training, put anything you have. (School play? Community theatre?) List it now, you ll take it off later when you start getting better credits to replace whatever you have now. If you truly have nothing - you still have special skills. And start taking a class ASAP and put that on there! And get to your local film school and community theatre and start volunteering!

A word of caution: don t lie. It s all too tempting to just add a credit that you didn t really deserve (Who s going to know if you were an extra or a featured extra? Or a bot part?) Unfortunately, the industry is SMALL, and at some point you will be auditioning for someone who worked on that project and remembers you - or worse, remembers that you were never there at all. Resumes stay on file for years, and a lie will always be on someone s drive, waiting to be rediscovered just when you re trying to get a big break.

Without an experience you really don't need a resume. For things like community theater you really don't need one. But some general information about acting resume:

First it should be 8x10 paper since it's usually stapled to your head shot (which is an 8x10 picture)

You list you name in bold letters at the top.

Then list your contact information (cell phone or e-mail). Do not list home phone or home address.

Lists your stats - height, weight, eye color, hair color and the like. (This is really just filler information since you have your head shot attached, but you can include it)

The heading "THEATER" and include whatever plays you were in in a three column format. This includes school plays or community theater plays. First column is the name of the play. The second column is the character you played. The third column is the name of the theater or the director for the play. If you have literally no experience at all, don't include this heading. (And don't expect to get anything with a resume - go audition for a school show, community theater or something that you can add.)

Then put the heading "TRAINING" and list any acting, voice or dance lessons you've taken. Include the name of the class, where you took it and who taught it.

Then put the heading SPECIAL SKILLS and list any special skills you have - if you sing, include your vocal range. If you dance, list the specific type of dance you're experienced in (ballet, tap, jazz, ballroom, hip hop). Other things to list - foreign languages you are fluent in. Sports you play. Instruments you play. Things like that.

Here's an article with some more information: http://bizparentz.org/gettingstarted/resumes.html

Sorry, but a resume (for an actor) is a list of your professional training at an accredited drama school and all your recent experience. If you haven't done that, you don't have a resume at all.

If you don't, that's what you need to get around to.

Get into a drama school. Get experience.

A resume is a list of your professional training and experience. If you have neither, you don't need a resume.

You should ideally consult professional services, such as ManuscriptPro or Scribendi

Some of the sections on a resume include:

- Education

- Professional experiences

- Teaching experience

- Presentations

- Articles / Writing

- Professional membership and leadership

- Service activities

- Honors and awards

- References

Resumes may be organized in different ways. The following are some of the more common formats:

Reverse chronological resume[edit]

A reverse chronological resume lists a candidate's job experiences in chronological order, generally covering the previous 10 to 15 years. Positions are listed with starting and ending dates. Current positions on a resume typically list the starting date to the present or to the current year. Both are considered acceptable.

The reverse chronological resume format is most commonly used by those who are not professional resume writers.[citation needed] In using this format, the main body of the document becomes the Professional Experience section, starting from the most recent experience and moving chronologically backwards through a succession of previous experience. The reverse chronological resume works to build credibility through experience gained, while illustrating career growth over time and filling all gaps in a career trajectory. A chronological resume is not recommended to job seekers with gaps in their career summaries. In the United Kingdom the chronological resume tends to extend only as far back as the applicant's GCSE/Standard Grade qualifications.

Functional resume[edit]

A functional resume lists work experience and skills sorted by skill area or job function.

The functional resume is used to focus on skills that are specific to the type of position being sought. This format directly emphasizes specific professional capabilities and utilizes experience summaries as its primary means of communicating professional competency. In contrast, the chronological resume format will briefly highlight these competencies prior to presenting a comprehensive timeline of career growth through reverse chronological listings, with the most recent experience listed first. The functional resume works well for those making a career change, having a varied work history or with little work experience. A functional resume is also preferred for applications to jobs that require very specific skills or clearly defined personality traits. A functional resume is a good method for highlighting particular skills or experiences, especially when those particular skills or experiences may have derived from a role which was held some time ago. Rather than focus on the length of time that has passed, the functional resume allows the reader to identify those skills quickly.

Hybrid resume[edit]

The hybrid resume balances the functional and chronological approaches. A resume organized this way typically leads with a functional list of job skills, followed by a chronological list of employers. The hybrid resume has a tendency to repeat itself and is, therefore, less widely used than the other two.

Online resumes[edit]

As the search for employment has become more electronic, it is common for employers only to accept resumes electronically, either out of practicality or preference. This has changed much about the way resumes are written, read, and processed. Some career experts are pointing out that today a paper-based resume is an exception rather than the rule.[9]

Many employers now find candidates' resumes through search engines, which makes it more important for candidates to use appropriate keywords when writing a resume.[citation needed] Larger employers use Applicant Tracking Systems to search, filter, and manage high volumes of resumes. Job ads may direct applicants to email a resume to a company or visit its website and submit a resume in an electronic format.

Many employers, and recruitment agencies working on their behalf, insist on receiving resumes in a particular file format. Some require Microsoft Word documents, while others will only accept resumes formatted in HTML, PDF, or plain ASCII text.

One advantage for employers to online resumes is the significant cost saving compared to traditional hiring methods.[10] Another is that potential employers no longer have to sort through massive stacks of paper.

Info graphic, video and website resumes[edit]

As the Internet becomes more driven by multimedia, job seekers have sought to take advantage of the trend by moving their resumes away from the traditional paper and email media.

Video, info graphic, and even Vine resumes have gained popularity, though mainly in the creative and media industries.[11]

This trend has attracted criticism from human resources management professionals, who warn that this may be a passing fad and point out that multimedia-based resumes may be overlooked by recruiters whose workflow is designed only to accommodate a traditional resume format.[12]

Resume evaluation[edit]

Many resume development agencies offer resume evaluation services wherein they evaluate the resume and suggest any necessary changes. Candidates are free to either do those changes themselves or may take help of the agency itself. Some career fields include a special section listing the lifelong works of the author: for computer-related fields, the softography; for musicians and composers, the discography; for actors, a filmography.

Keeping resumes online has become increasingly common for people in professions that benefit from the multimedia and rich detail that are offered by an HTML resume, such as actors, photographers, graphic designers, developers, dancers, etc.[citation needed] Job seekers are finding an ever increasing demand to have an electronic version of their resume available to employers and professionals who use Internet recruiting.[citation needed] Online resume distribution services have emerged to allow job seekers to distribute their resumes to numerous employers of their choice through email.[citation needed]

Resume as one part of a personal branding mix[edit]

In some sectors, particularly in the startup community, use of traditional resume has seen a consistent decline.[13] While standalone resumes are still used to apply for jobs, job-seekers may also view their resumes as one of a number of assets which form their personal brand and work together to strengthen their job application. In this scenario, resumes are generally used to provide a potential employer with factual information (e.g., achievements), while the social media platforms give insight into the job-seekers' motivations and personality.
