ABSTRACT
The Resume Pile Studios, networks, production companies, agencies-anyone doing business in the entertainment industry collectively receives hundreds of thousands of resumes each year. And while there are times when having a well-written and professional-looking cover letter and resume is absolutely necessary, because this is unlike any other business, rarely will sending a resume to someone who doesn’t know you (or know someone who knows you) result in a job. For the most part, you’ll be lucky if submitting your resume will even elicit a form letter response politely thanking you for your interest in the company and informing you that at present, there are no openings.
