Studio Resume

[cloy26]

I'm trying to get an internship and I am putting together a resume right now. Are there any tips from you experienced guys on here? What should I say? I'm learning pro tools right now and have mac experience. I can solder, etc. I gave a great attitude and love music and recording. haha. No, but really, any tips?

Just be honest,

Don't claim to have experience in something that you have glanced at briefly two years ago in college.

thats it really, just be honest about what you can and cannot do.

best of luck man!

I vote to work for yourself. It's hard to build up a rep at first but once it gets rolling you're good to go.

I've been doing this, I've worked with probably 10 local bands in the past year, but I want to get me feet wet in a professional atmosphere because I know there are things that I need to learn.

Tell them that you can make an excellent pot of coffee.

 

[cloy26]

Well, I wouldn't be lying.

Would you hire this guy?^^^ Silly example, but you get the point. Make it so the shit you do sounds good on paper.

Most importantly: you can have a stunning skill set and still not make the cut if the interviewer doesn't feel that you are likeable or fun to hang around. Good luck!
