What would happen if you sent a school photo/picture with a resume you made with Microsoft Word?

Question

to a PROFESSIONAL casting director (think Disney)?

Should I take a chance and do that?

PLEASE help!! :/

Answer 1

you should always submit a photo to casting directors! good choice!

Answer 2

You should definitely send a photo... but it should be a professional photo. Think about going and getting some head shots done at like a "Glamour Shots" place or something like that.

Answer 3

I think it should be a Professional headshot instead of a school photo. But if your school pic looks that good then go ahead and send it.

Answer 4

Casting people like to see what they are getting.  Make sure it's a wonderful photo and send it along with the resume.

Good Luck,

Answer 5

sure but my advice is that you go there in person and directly hand it to the secretary. mailing it is pretty much pointless because they almost never open up mail unless they specifically tell you to mail it to them. also don't put your picture and resume on the same piece of paper. make sure your picture is printed well on a  8" x 11" sheet of paper. put all your personal info on the back (name, age, address, etc).

Good Luck!

Answer 6

yeah you should

Answer 7

Not sure you should put a school picture in there, most would want professional pics or a portfolio, but of course if you don't have them and your school pic rocks theres no harm I guess, just be aware that you may be up against people who do have professional portfolio's - unless your trying to be cast as a school kid in which case go for it.

Answer 8

if u want to send a pic with a resume make it cheap but profecional. I think its a great idea. They will get to know u better than just ur resume alone  :D  best of luck

Answer 9

That will work but you may not come across looking as professional as you want.  I know that real headshots are pricey but if you can take a nice natural picture on your own it will seem more professional than a school picture.

Answer 10

I am about to do that too...

Maybe don't send you're school pic! =] Maybe a good pose of you. Microsoft word would be good!

Answer 11

think Brazil

usa is in fire

Answer 12

I think you should try to get a portfolio set up. And if you have the money send a head shot. But yes a school photo will be fine because its proffesional! Good luck!!

Answer 13

If it is your Senior picture, and was taken in a photo studio, and it was recent, and you paid for the touch-up pics, then yes!  If you answered no or maybe to any of those, you would be better off getting a new photo shoot.

Answer 14

No because when you make resumes for the proffesional you would rather play it safe and take a good picture of yourself and then send it.

Answer 15

no,waste of time.
