In this webinar, participants will learn how to build, refine, and tailor their resumes for success in the "entertainment industry." We'll review the difference between tracking and distribution resumes, formatting best practices, how to highlight transferable skills and credits, and the power of name-dropping (not joking-it's more nuanced than you'd think)!
We'll also cover networking and cultural norms in branded commercials, narrative feature films & narrative television series.
Whether you're just getting started or looking to level up, this workshop is designed to help you land that first or next job with confidence.
