Give Yourself Credits: A Special Guide to a Proper Resume
Backstage Feature - September 19, 2003
Featuring Jonathan Calindas
... Jonathan Calindas displays proficiency with language and swordplay. "I put down that I can speak Filipino or do a Filipino accent. I also list that I have some stage combat experience with rapiers and broadswords."
Calindas usually submits P&Rs in a headshot-sized envelope with a backing board. "I make sure to staple my resume to the back, with the resume cut down to the correct size. (A paper cutter is a great investment.) I used to print my resume directly on the back of the headshot, but I found out that it smudges horribly, even after you think the ink has dried. Though it looks great, I don't think the casting people would appreciate that."
Calindas: "Make sure your resume is truthful, and that it expresses who you are and your abilities. It's okay to appear inexperienced - there are a lot of companies that are looking for more inexperienced actors. However, if you present yourself as a very experienced actor, it will be a letdown when your audition shows that you aren't."
