  • Resume Guide
    BU COM Career Services Resume A resume is a selective summary of your skills and qualifications for a position. Ultimately, you have one page to convince someone of your credentials. But resumes aren’t just summaries. A strategic resume is tailored to the employer and proves you match with the position and its requirements. List any colleges or universities you have earned or will earn degrees from. Only freshmen should include high school. Everyone else should include undergrad and grad schools. Generally, you should divide your experience into “relevant experience,” listing all school and professional experience that is relevant to the position, and “additional experience,” if you want to add experience that is not directly related to the position. You can also just write “experience” if you do not have a lot of relevant experience. All experience should be listed in reverse chronological order based on when the position ended. If you are still in the position, you must use present tense and it must be listed first in the section; additionally the end date should be listed as “present.” Internships, BUTV, Daily Free Press, AdLab, and PRLab are all great examples of experience to include on your resume. Include only the positions and experience that will prove your qualifications and strengthen your application. Write bullet points using strong action verbs in the active voice (see page 4 for a list of active verbs). Think of the context, the task involved, the action taken, and the result. Each bullet should include the impact of your work. An easy way to organize bullet-points is to think of the acronym CAR: context, action, result.

  • One-Page Outline Guidelines
    The one-page outline Having the ability to pitch your ideas succinctly, in written and verbal forms, is a key skill the emerging screenwriter needs to have because you are unlikely to get an established producer or director, agent or studio executive to read your treatment or script without first giving him/her a good reason to read it, and in a form that is easily consumable, because they are busy people who always have a pile of scripts and treatments waiting for them to read. The one-page outline is designed to give them that reason and is attractive because they can tell it will only take a few moments to read and whether your idea stands out from the others. The guidelines that follow provide the foundations for writing this selling document well. The point of the outline is to sell your idea to the reader. You need to make the reader able to conceive, visualise and determine the kind of film it would be just from reading this document. He/she should be able to tell what kind of production values it will have, including whether its success would be dependent on a name actor and/or director and whether they would be interested in it; he would have an idea what audience the film would appeal to and whether you have the professional capabilities as a screenwriter to deliver on your promise and, finally – and don’t underestimate the importance of this – he/she would be able to tell whether this is his/her (or the company’s) kind of film.
