Best Career Objectives for your Resume

Posted on March 23, 2019 by blogger

Career Objective – A statement that presents a vision, guiding principles and future career aspirations for the prospective candidate. It also sets the tone of the entire resume. It tells the reader who you are in a single concise way that encompasses the very essence of your abilities.

Everyone knows the standard resume needs a career objective. But why? Is it because everyone assumes you have to have one? Is it because hiring managers require it? What would happen if you had the most comprehensive and impressive career objective that others were measured against?

The Career Objective should not be:

1. A meaningless set of dribble to fake out the reader
2. A set of words that have no tie to the candidate’s wants, needs or desires for their future.
3. A creation of disconnected terms and ideas that have no business being put together without internal assessment

Companies need to fill positions within their organization with the best qualified individual(s). Hiring managers will review hundreds of resumes with the first 30 seconds being crucial to getting to the second stage. The face to face interview.

What would the be the best career objective for your resume?

Your career objective is a one sentence character representation of who you are and sets the stage for the message you want to deliver. – “This is who I am, who I want to be and how I will make your company successful”

There are many ways to write a career objective that begins to set you apart from other candidates in the eyes of the reader…

How a Website can help your career in Acting

Posted on March 15, 2019 by blogger

All the actors in Hollywood, big or small, should have a website of their own where they can share their career, achievements, and goals. ExtraTalent.com makes for a perfect online presence of actor Issy who, apart from sharing some personal stats, has some interesting information for the aspiring and established actors. While discussing his movies, Issy shares some great anecdotes and events that happened during the casting or audition or actual shooting of the movies. Interestingly, Issy has worked with some of the greatest names in Hollywood, like Sydney Pollack, Sean Penn, and Nicole Kidman in the movie, The Interpreter.

It’s a little known fact that Issy has also worked with the legendary Martin Scorsese for a forthcoming Rolling Stones documentary, ‘Shine A Light’.

The best part of ExtraTalent.com is reserved for the TV, Commercial, and Movie Extras. These unsung heroes of the movies, sitcoms, and TV commercials are perhaps the most vulnerable and directionless lot. Right from their audition stage, they are not too much aware about the written and unwritten rules they have to follow in order to keep everyone happy, and enhance their own long-term career prospects.

Having personally gone through the travails of an ‘Extra’, Issy is the best man to learn from. Issy also suggests networking with other extras on the set and share auditions and casting calls information. The tips involve advise on the conduct of extras vis–vis the big stars. For instance, an extremely valuable piece of advise that Issy shares is that extras should not indulge in clicking pictures or taking autographs of the big stars. This is a strict no-no as far as the work ethics is concerned.

The extras are given some valuable inputs about enhancing their career prospects and how not to restrict themselves to just ‘extra’ work in TV and movies. They should always be on the lookout for more exposure to different media. For instance, Issy takes the example of Casting Directors of an Opera (War and Peace) who were auditioning people for the role of soldiers.

The extras will also do well to volunteer in Film Festivals. Being so near to the big and small actors at the same time will widen their horizons and change their perspective of looking at their own and others’ work. For this purpose, Issy suggests that you must have a calendar for Film Festivals with you all the time.

Do check out the special reference about The Artists’ Lounge by Vickie Cline and a list of under-production movies.

ExtraTalent.com also offers the visitors to subscribe for a free mailing list. The subscribers will receive all the latest information and events planned for the website through their emails.
