Acting : Question by Samantha Bowling

Question

Hi everyone! Quick question, when emailing a headshot and resume, is it best in pdf or Microsoft word, or does it not matter? Thanks :)

Kyle Climans

From what I can tell, PDF is the format you want.

Kahlid Elijah Tapia

I've always done it in PDF. You never know what settings a person's computer will be at and a MS Word document can be easily disorganized.

Mikul Robins

yes, pdf almost anybody can open these days

Samantha Bowling

Thank you! I will definitely start submitting everything in PDF! :)

Mike Williams

Personally; I agree with pdf also. I've found many people are now split between being Macs and PCs...and although there is a word version for Mac, most use pages and that just doesn't translate at all to those who use PCs...like people like me who can't let go

PDF always. You never know what the person has on their computer and you never want them to open your file and it be all jumbled! Always play it safe.

Also, a side note. Always be as simple and clear as possible with any communication or marketing tools. Including your website, your social media, your cover letters. Be to the point and concise. No need to show off in those pieces, your performances should do the talking.
