Another thought provoking (maybe) question for you all.
How do you write a resume that is either partly or wholly based in theatrical or entertainment when you're trying to look for a regular desk job?
I've been successful with my current job because of a recommendation. But looking to move out of the SF Bay Area and maybe get a permanently remote job, I haven't gotten much traction and I'm assuming it's because about half of my resume is "Freelance" "Contract" or "Various Companies" in live theatre or corporate stuff.
I feel like I do a good job explaining my strengths, the milestones achieved in those positions and tried to treat my job description as much like my other "real" jobs, but wondering how other people do it?
Some positions I'm looking at combine the operations, management and creativity that exists in designer and project manager roles, so hopefully it's not my own stupidity and applying for stuff I'm genuinely not qualified for.
Might be a helpful discussion for others who are looking for an alternative work industry too.
