TIPS for making THEATER RÉSUMÉS

​

• Résumés highlighting your theater work are different from your typical business résumé.

​

• All credits should be listed in REVERSE CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER - the most recent roles/work should be listed at the top and then work backwards.  Think of it this way: If someone is going to skim your résumé, you want that person to know about your most recent work FIRST.  ​​​
