Hey Sydney,

It's a pleasure to help you with this question!=)
Anyway, First of all: Your Headshot gets stapled on the back of your resume not vice versa, but I guess it doesn't really matter!. also, people usually paper clip it with your headshot and resume but you can just leave it!. Casting Directors and Agents are really looking for your headshot and Resume, so don't worry!.!.!.they won't hate you because you didn't put your cover letter the exact way they wanted! also, Cover letters go before your Resume and Headshot so they can quickly skim through your cover letter then proceed to your resume and then headshot!.

I hope this helped! GOOD LUCK! <33

Hi there,

I usually use a paper clip to combine my cover letter with the headshot and resume!. I suggest putting it on the resume side (the side than will cover your resume NOT the headshot), since agents/ CDs always glance at a headshot first you want it to stand out!.

A resume is stapled to the back of the headshot!. Don't forget to cut the resume to fit the size of the headshot!. A headshot is 8x10, but paper on which you printed your resume is 9x11, so you have to cut the paper to fit the headshot- so that it looks neat and is easy for agents/ CDs to file!.

Your cover letter can be on any size paper!. also, you may think about using stationary (rather than regular white paper) to make it stand out- but don't spend too much money on this!.
