| About You: |
I love movies, and have since I was a kid. They’ve brought me more joy than any other hobby or pastime I’ve ever had. However, for some reason (which I’m currently exploring with my Do It Yourself Home Psychoanalysis Kit), I never considered a career in film or TV. Whether it was fear, an expectation of insurmountable odds, or a lack of confidence, it’s a decision I regret, and feel an overwhelming urge to correct (or I may have to use that Do It Yourself Home Lobotomy Kit). To that end, I’m submitting my resume for your consideration…or if you run out of double-ply. While I’m sure you’d prefer someone with formal training or significant experience, let me assure you that I have a great work ethic, tremendous attention to detail, and a voracious appetite for learning. Any opportunities you may have to allow me to gain exposure to any and all aspects of film or television production would be greatly appreciated. My resume follows:
Objective
To obtain a new, challenging, and exciting job in film or television production that will enable me to use my strong organizational skills, educational background, and ability to work well with people.
