Blog Post 3

For Blog Post Number three, I decided to go to the Starr Career Center and learn how to create a professional resume. This was a little tricky for me because I am so used to “Artistic resumes”. Artistic Resumes are strictly used for auditions and pre screens. On these types of resumes you need to follow a very specific format. At the top of your page you have your name, weight, height, eye color, measurements, phone number, email, and agency contact information. Below that you separate your previous experiences under subtitles of training, professional work, film, commercial, print, and modeling, etc. This professional work resume was different because I realized no body in the workforce cares about my height or weight. When I went to the career center I learned that I need to have an objective. An objective on a resume is usually two sentences stating what position I am looking for and what type of career I want to have. In a concluding sentences I need to write what skills I have and what previous experience I have that makes me qualified for the job. After this meeting, I realized that I am highly underqualified to be applying to real jobs because I have only had jobs regarding performing arts.  This resume meeting was quite helpful and I’m glad I attended it because now I feel more prepared for applying to a real world job.
