The link didn't work, but I assume you were looking up agents? Here are some exaples of how it's done for the entertainment business: http://www.actingbiz.com/articles/resume...

When you get an agent they will have their own format they'll want you to follow. For now just find one you like and follow that. Make sure you staple your headshot and resume back to back and include a brief cover letter. You shoud also be currently in training (in acting classes, and hopefully dance, voice, theatre, etc. Always building on your resume)

If you have any industry referrals make sure you write that in your cover letter. Some say to write it on your outer envelope as well.

good luck,

if your resume is for a job then you should list all of the things that you have done in the past and your skills . If it's formodeling or acting etc. then you should put the past fashion shows or commercials or television shows that you have been in

Put any work and training you have done in the past 5 years of acting. Even if its just a school play or an acting camp. It also wouldnt hurt to put your dance and/or singing experience. And at the bottom you can put a "skils" section where you can put if you can swim, play tennis, love doing accenst, etc. hope this helps!!

For a resumae, list your agency or your contact numbers (if you don't have an agency.)

you need to put experience, in groups such as:

theatre
television
classes
etc.

you also need to list special skills, like:

accents
languages
sports
dancing
vocal lessons

if your resumae is a bit small, add on things such as your height and birthday

also add whether you ar:
non-union
union sag
sag eligible

Hope this helped!!

Good Luck!!

This is what I have on my acting resumae.......It is professional and I have an agent that helped me with it.
