Which resume is better?

[NewYorkLion]

So, My wife rewrote my resume and I was wondering which format you folks think is better?

Hers is better - but still way too long.

You could take hers and cut out the irlevant stuff - applying for crew? ditch teh production experience, etc.

Your gear list is hard to read.


And you mix up your tenses. "Produce show for company" "Produced commerical for client" - Normally past tense is used, but whatever you choose, be consistant. Like that is hard to read.

well I figured that the gigs that are ongoing are in present tense, and the gigs that I no longer have are in past tense. Does that not make sense?

Ofen items on a resume are also listed chonologically - with dates - which helps solve that problem.
