FAQ
Questions about this musical theater resume template Word example
Short answers to what people ask before they send this resume.
Use this exampleDo I need a resume if I have a portfolio?
Yes. The portfolio proves the work; the resume answers who you worked for, in what role, for how long — questions a portfolio cannot answer.
How much design can I put in the resume itself?
Enough to show taste, not enough to break parsing. Columns, text boxes and images are where automated screening fails.
Should I list every credit?
Selected credits beat a full list. Named productions carry more weight than adjectives about the work.
