We launched Hollywood Resumes in 2016, after hiring for roles across the entertainment industry and realizing that great candidates weren’t always able to communicate their value in their job application materials. We’ve worked in entertainment for over 15 years in scripted and unscripted TV, film, and digital content development, production, and marketing. We’ve used our in-depth industry knowledge to help over 1000 entertainment professionals through our job application preparation services, career coaching, professional development offerings, and workshops for organizations including Warner Bros. Discovery, The Producers Guild of America, Duke University, Boston University, and HRTS. Our philosophy is that if you can confidently and clearly articulate your story, you can achieve your career goals!
Hi, I’m Angela Silak Vargas! I’m a film and TV creative executive specializing in children's media. I'm the co-founder of The Kids' Table, a content company that helps brands expand into kids & family entertainment. Before launching The Kids' Table, I worked at Apple TV+, where I oversaw development and current series of live-action and animated preschool shows, including multiple Emmy-nominated series. Previously, I was a development executive at Nickelodeon, where I managed a slate of top-rated original movies and scripted series. I got my start in development on the unscripted side at 3 Ball Entertainment. I’m passionate about lifelong learning, and after graduating from Duke University with a Bachelor of Arts in History, I completed a Master of Communication Management degree from USC, and I also hold Master of Arts in Educational Studies from LMU.

My credits include the award-winning web series ADULTING WITH JANE, shorts for Disney Jr., Yahoo! Screen, VEVO, and Electus, and multiple documentaries for NewGround: A Muslim-Jewish Partnership for Change. I’m also the Director of JITC Hollywood Bureau, the first organization dedicated to promoting authentic representation of Jews in entertainment. Previously, I managed the Procter & Gamble account at Endeavor-owned agency Signal Entertainment Marketing and executed deals with Disney, Paramount, and other partners. Additionally, I'm a former adjunct faculty member of Long Beach City College's TV & Emerging Media department, and I've received group facilitation training through NewGround and Resetting the Table.

"I had applied to over 200 roles before working with [Hollywood Resumes] with very little success. Since working with them, I have gotten multiple job offers. This is directly a result of how, through working with this company, I was able to organize and speak about my experience in a significantly more effective way."
"When I moved to LA, I applied to probably 50+ mid level jobs at studios and still was getting nil interviews. Hollywood Resumes was so helpful in rewording my resume and structuring it in a way that appeals to hiring managers. Literally the first job I applied to at a major studio using this resume quickly landed me a job offer!"
"I've worked in the 'industry' for 20+ years as a field, story and later development producer - basically making other peoples' stories come to life - on the creative side. Within a year, Cindy has helped me transition from working in the industry to being prepared to sell myself and my own shows."
"I'm a freelancer who had other careers before landing in my current industry. [Hollywood Resumes was] creative and able to really explain my work and make it pop. I also had them help me work on my Linkedin profile and it has made a huge difference with people now reaching out to me!"
"Amazing service and execution. Angela made sense of my decades of entertainment experience. She created a beautiful and concise resume for me with a speedy turnaround. The team is prompt and communicative and goes well above and beyond most resume services."
"Hollywood Resumes did an amazing job helping me create a new resume that reaches a more diverse hiring base. They found a creative way to highlight my various job responsibilities and skills despite working over twenty different freelance jobs."
