Tips for applicants on submitting a good resume - The most important thing is to have a photo...if you submit a resume without a photo...you're wasting your time. - Make sure you have nice photos. We've been in this industry for a long time and we know what employers want. Get a friend to do a fun photo shoot and take about 50 or so pictures...this way you have plenty of pics to go through and select the ones that are the best. - Don't use your webcam to take a photo...they come out grainy and look like garbage. Thats like submitting a resume to a job thats on crumpled paper. FAQ Q: I can't upload a photo...what should I do? A: - Make sure your photo is in a regular format such as .jpg or .png. We accept .gif files but we don't recommend using that format for photos. Also...make sure the image is a reasonable size. If you have an image from a 3 Megapixel camera most likely it will need to be resized. There's alot of software out there that will automatically resize a whole batch of images...and they are relatively easy to use. Q: I have a resume in a word document...how do I get it on this site? A: - At the current time resumes are only text based...so you will need to cut & past your resume in word format into our system. Photo Tips :: Do's and Don'ts Below are examples to help you out when selecting photos for your resume. Its important that you use the best photos you can get as it will directly impact the amount of job inquiries you get. If you are serious about getting a good job in this industry...you should be just as serious about getting good photos of yourself. Do use a decent digital camera...the results come out perfect and can be immediately uploaded to a computer. Don't use a web cam...they were never designed for high quality photography. The results are poor color reproduction & grainy photos. Do go to an interesting place to take photos. Taking photos in the outdoors or a neat studio or space can spice up your image for the better. Don't take photos at home unless you have to...they can sometimes look tacky in a messy home background. Other useful tips: Uploading photos for the first time can sometimes be a daunting experience...so below we have some tips that should help. - When taking photos from a digital camera they must be resized. Cameras these days are 3,4 and even 5 megapixels resulting in huge photos that have resolutions of around 3072 x 2048...which is much to large for the web. A good web size is somewhere between 400-700 pixels (height or width) To resize images you can use any photo editor including free ones. Most digital cameras come pre-packaged with software that can do this. - Try not to send images that are too small. We have seen people send in pictures that are 32x32 and look like a joke. Its pointless to send something that small...because you can't even make anything out in the photo. - Get ideas before taking photos...look at some of the resumes that people have already posted to get some general ideas. |
