use adjectives that describe you (positively, such as ambitious, socially adept or whatever might be the case).

You can adapt your resume to the jobs you're applying for.

How do you make a good resume?

We Answered:

If you do not have allot of experience then your skills should focus not on your job history but your skills. The term that is used for this type of resume is called a functional resume. Typically you include your education, your work experience (paid & volunteer), your skills, the responsibilities of the job, contact information, and objective. Some people will include their activities and interests. Personally I do not because unless your interests directly relates to the job then it begins to sound like everyone else interests. Furthermore if the activities you participate in involves politics, religion, or it is controversial then listing the activity can work against you especially if the person reading your resume holds a different viewpoint.

Moving on, a few points to keep in mind when building your resume. First do not overstate your skills or experience. Instead be honest about what you can do and do not over sell yourself. Second relate your skills to the job being advertised. This means if you are applying for an internship in advertising then you want to focus on experiences that relate to advertising, the business ethos, and the job itself. Third make sure you check your spelling and grammar. Good advice here would be to give your resume and cover letter to someone else to proof-read for you in order to catch any errors that you may have overlooked. Fourth do not send out generic, one size fits all, resume and cover letters. Recruiters can spot them very easily and each one must be customized for the role. Fourth avoid using cliche's, overly used words, and figure out what is unique about you. Fifth remember to send a cover letter with each resume. Finally take time to go through your experiences, your jobs, your skills, and create a catalog of them. Then use that catalog to help you in preparing your cover letter and resume.

Hi K,
Every Resume should be sent along with a Cover Letter. Any 'work-experience or 'voluntary-work' is useful to mention.

You should tailor your cover-letter to each specific job you apply for, keeping them to one page and no longer than three or four paragraphs. Points to note when writing an effective cover letter include:
* If possible address it to the person doing the hiring.

** Do not use the word 'I' to start the letter or to start more than one paragraph in the whole letter. However, do not be afraid to inject your own personality into the cover letter.

The opening paragraph should grab the reader's attention. Concisely mention the job you are applying for, how you became aware of the job, if applicable, and how your skills fit the job requirements.

* The middle paragraph should present more information on your accomplishments and explain how your specific experience meets the company's needs.

* The closing paragraph should end in a professional manner and be definite about the next step (EG. I will call you at the end of this week to answer any questions you may have regarding my background.

For ** above, you could start by writing - Further to you advertisement in < > I wish to apply for the position.

The middle paragraph could start with - From my 'voluntary work' I have gained effective communication skills and a good understanding about the importance of team-work. (See how easy it is to avoid using 'I' to begin a sentence.)

You must 'Proof-read' you Cover letter and Resume for spelling errors and get someone that you trust to do the same.

Finally, since you are young, now is the time to do some research about Job Search. Hopefully this information will assist you. Visit your local City Library and borrow a copy of "What Color is Your Parachute" a Job Search and Career Change bible for job-seekers. They will have books about Resume Preparation - Questions asked at a Job Interview and equally important, Books about Questions you could ask at a Job Interview. Spend time browsing these books, make a choice and then borrow what you believe will help you.

One last thing - The very best way to secure employment is to Target Company's that you would love to work for by making Speculative Job Applications.

Very best wishes for a successful Job Application.

Hi there,

Here is information about 'BILLING'


IN FILMS-

LEAD means that you worked throughout the film and are a main character in the sory. There could be several leads in a play or film. The word 'Principal' is also used- means that you've worked throughout the film.

SUPPORTING means that you have a few scenes with the lead/ principal and you are doing more than delivering one line.

Your role is FEATURED if you are in a scene and are recoginized (but have no lines).

EXTRA or BACKGROUND PLAYER means that you do not say any lines and are not recognized. You are just a part of the background, almost like furniture.

*Extra and feautured roles DO NOT belong on a professional acting resume.

IN TV
-your billing will match the language of your contact. (So it's not somethin that you have to decide) Series regular, recurring, guest star, co-star, featured.

In SOAP WORK-
CONTRACT PLAYER- recurring characters around whom the story revolves
PRINCIPAL- appear only in one storyline in one episode
U5/ Under 5-performers with at least one line and up to 5 lines
EXTRAS- see above (doesn't belong on your resume)

IN THEATER
-billing is generally discarted in favorof listing of character names if it's a known play
-If it's a new/original play- after listing the character name, in paranthesis you can note if it's a LEAD or SUPPORTING character (see above, film, for descrition). ENSEMBLE means that you did not have any individual lines (only may have spoken in chorus)

Hope this heps.
