The best idea is to staple your resume to the back of it!. No need to put your name on it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Professional actors usually have their names printed on their headshots!. The standard procedure is to have a professional photographer take your portrait, then to have a professional headshot company print up a bunch of copies with your name on them!.

If you have a good picture with your resume on the back and your name on the resume, that will do in a pinch!. But if you want to keep moving ahead in the profession, you should think about getting some headshots printed with your name!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

if it's not on there now and you already have the prints made, don't worry about it and please stop trying to print one on there, especially if they're color!. go ahead and staple the resume to the back!. but you need to get your name on your headshot!. it's important b/c if they take off the resume to look at them seperate/side by side, then you're name is forever gone off that headshot!. find a printer, whether in your area or out of your area!. they will produce an 8x10 headshot with your name on it!. most people like to find a printer in their area that way they can, in person, proof the final product!. but there are plenty of places that can email you the mock up and you proof it that way!. here are just two that i've used before and they're both groovey!
