Are there any resume templates online that you can use without needing microsoft office?

We Answered:

Do you know enough about computers to be able to download it and everything? If so this is the beta for office 2010, I think you can use it for free until around October 2010.
Just chose the version on the right and get started installing it.

What websites have acting resume templates?

We Answered:

What I do is create boxes with 3 columns. Trying to create columns using the space bar will NEVER come out perfectly.

Here’s an ACTING resume should be set up:

RESUME-ALWAYS use the 3 column format!
Here’s the standard LA format. In NY, it’s usually the same but with Theatre being higher up than Film/TV (/ denotes column breaks):

At the top and centered:
Name (Centered and is largest in font size)
Union affiliation (if any)
CELL Phone Number
Email

Far Left side below the top and centered stuff:
Height
Weight
Hair color
Eye color

Right side opposite of statistics:
Agent logo with contact info (sometimes if you have an agent, you can remove your own cell phone and email address. Then weirdos that find your stuff in the dumpster can contact them instead of you)

Film
Title/(Lead, supporting)/Director

Television
Title/(Lead, guest star, co-star, series regular, Under 5, recurring)/Network

Theatre
Title/Specific character played/Production company or director depending on who is more prestigious.

Commericials
ALWAYS put "List available upon request!" Do keep a separate list of the commercials with the Casting directors involved in case an agent asks.

Training
Skill learned/School or teacher/Location (LA, NY?)
OR
Skill learned/Teacher/School, Location
ie. Cold Reading/Margie Haber/Margie Haber Studios, LA,CA

Special Skills/Abilities
Be creative with this. When I was starting out and interviewing with agencies, they would usually go straight there and talk about my special talents and even had me demonstrate some of them

DON’T:
-Put extra work
-Put Modeling/Print gigs. You make a separate resume for that.
-Lie
-Put age. If an agent asks you when you meet with him or her, then tell the truth. It’s for legal reasons. ie. Under 18 can’t work normal hours and need parent/guardian to sign stuff or you have to be at least 25 to do a beer commercial.
-Put your home phone number or address unless you want weirdos coming to your house.
-Put dates. It ages you!
-Have it separate from your headshot. It should be cut to fit and stapled to the back of your headshot.

If you don't have many credits, show that you're serious by having training from the best and a lot of unique special skills/abilities that you can actually do

free resume templates online.?

We Answered:

Below are some sample resumes for your reference:

http://www.resume-resource.com/samples.h…

Here are some tips:
1. If you have less than 10 years of experience, you want your resume to be one page.
2. Generally, clearly show your name, mailing address, email address if available, and best phone number(s) to contact you.
3. Then show your education, work experience, any interests, achievements, and skill sets. Under your work experience, it is not a list of your job descriptions (this is a common mistake). You should instead indicate what you have accomplished and the results.
4. Also, try not to use technical words and jargons. Do not abbreviate.

Other good references are:
http://www.vault.com
http://www.wetfeet.com

I would also go to your bookstore and find a resume book in the business/career section. You can also find more examples and templates online if you do a search.

Good luck and have a nice day.

The resume templates of MS word are way too small to see. How to enlarge them?

We Answered:

The template view in (File > New from Template) -- the Preview Pane is merely intended for a general idea of what a completed resume will look like. The easiest way to tell if this is the resume' that you want to use is to simply select it and take good look at it.

If it is still too small to work with, adjust your view using either the zoom icon on the Standard Toolbar or else Vew > Zoom and select your desired size.
