I personally like Cum Laude better... sounds more prestigious. But thats a personal preference.

On your SD Opera listing though, you say "Tour Productions include;"... that isn't proper use of the semicolon. Semicolons are used to seperate two independent thoughts in the same sentence, whereas colons are used to show that a list is to follow that sentence. You'd be better off using a colon.


Edit: I just read the rest of it, this appears to be a recurring theme.

 

Curriculum Vitea = resume

I dont know why but when i'm readin it its like there are words missing

 

I agree with Ryan.

 

I was never great with the difference of ; and :. Thanks for clearing it up!

 

looks much better. Still a few formatting issues but otherwise good. Is this for another theatre/ production company? Not much in the way of any other experience?

 

What formatting issues would those be?

This really is my only experience. It would be like saying, is paralegal/law your only experience?

I am using it today for a production company, but I know they don't have anything, so it is more as a meeting with resume in hand.

 

Education Tour Manager
- remove ( worked as the tour manager for the s.d opera ensemble )

Your title and company name explain that

substitute ambassador for liason

elaborate a bit more on how you kept your within your budget





Lyric Opera

- remove served as production state manager and explain what you oversaw what your responsiblities were



Spreckles Theatre,

- tell them how you provided security...ex: headlocks, suplexes, elbow drops etc.......just kidding on this one.



Looks a lot better though.

 

No.. what I'm getting at is that this is great for a production job, but doesn't really apply to any other field. If you were to apply for an administrative position, you would emphasize your office skills regarding calendaring, accounting, (payable and receivable), computer literacy, specific administrative management.

All I'm saying is that it's drafted so narrowly that it really pigeon-holes you into exactly the same type of job you are coming from.. and that's great if it's what you're trying to do. I'm just unclear as to what types of jobs you would be using this version to apply to.

As far as formatting, your indents are all funky. Did you create a table or just use tabs?

Stylistic modifications would be to eliminate the "Worked as..." and just include a detailed description of your actual tasks. Don't just say you worked the shows but something along the lines of, "Provided full production support including but not limited to... rigging, packing, unloading, programing light sequences and cues into xxxxx light board, operate spot light choreography... you get my drift. Just saying you did something isn't enough. Not everyone knows what type of work is involved in "working a show."

Even loading and unloading trucks can be a skilled task.

Now as for me.. Shiet.. you should know that I have direct experience as:

An audio and visual engineer, mechanic, choreographer, dancer, salesman, marketing (direct and indirect), and retail sales. :fawk:

 

much better than the other

 

Don't forget your extensive experience as being a beefcake.
