  • Résumé Basics
    Résumé Basics Written by Richard Adams Updated/Revised by James Gandre A Few Observations Résumés shed light on who you are, offer the reader a clear indication of your current development, past experiences and, most important, point out your potential for future growth professionally and artistically. In brief, a successfully prepared résumé is a road map to an individual’s past, present and future with the clear purpose of opening doors to the future. In a profession where it often looks and feels like others have control over our destinies, please remember YOU have control over your résumé, its contents, its construction, its point of view, its graphic design, etc. Be absolutely certain that it clearly represents you, your accomplishments and your goals. In addition to being an information/fact sheet, the carefully and responsibly prepared résumé is a piece of advertising, an advertisement for yourself. Résumé Construction ➲ Paper – Excellent quality; standard size (8 ½ x 11); white, off-white, tan, gray. ➲ Fonts – Choose clean, clear fonts (do not use Old English, Script or some other “flowery” font). ➲ Length – Use only one page for performance résumés. If you absolutely need to use more than one page, make sure to put your name and the page number at the top of each page following the first page. ➲ Outline form – A résumé is an outline of your past experience and achievements – NOT an autobiography. Once you have started to use a particular style, remain consistent in its use. ➲ Text – Never use personal pronouns (i.e., “I played in…”) and “little” adjectives. Use action verbs, descriptive adjectives and adverbs.
