Our Basic Breaking Into Hollywood Package is our most popular service for college students, recent grads, and other entry-level professionals with under 3 years of work experience who are looking to break into entertainment. The entertainment industry is known for having its own rules for breaking in – rules you won’t learn in film school or from your college career center. We learned the hard way, and after building our own successful careers and hiring hundreds of interns and entry-level professionals, we’re driven to help the next generation start their job search effectively.
This high-touch package includes a mix of our job application preparation and career coaching services. We take a personalized approach to help you identify the formative skills and experiences you have that will appeal to hiring managers and create a tailored resume and custom cover letter that will connect with entertainment industry professionals. We’ll also coach you to craft a strategic job search so you can start your career directed toward your long-term goals, and we’ll educate you on industry norms. If you’re looking for internships or entry-level roles at talent agencies, production companies, networks, studios, streamers, post-production facilities, creative agencies, or content studios, or are seeking to grow your career on set or in writers’ rooms as a PA, we will help you get off on the right foot.
We will conduct a 30-45 minute phone consultation to learn about your work history and goals and deliver a 1-page resume in Word and PDF formats.
We will deliver a formal cover letter and a shorter email version, tailored directly to a job posting you send us for a specific role of interest.
In an hour-long session conducted via Zoom, we'll help you identify target roles and companies and provide strategies to get your resume into the hands of a hiring manager.
This 45-page digital book is designed to teach you how to write a strong cover letter for every job application, with samples you can refer to throughout your career as you grow in the industry.
JOB SEARCH CAREER COACHING
You will set a time to meet with your career coach for a 1-hour session over Zoom to discuss job search strategy. You may opt to complete this career coaching session before your resume rewrite or after you receive your new resume. We recommend starting with career coaching if you need support identifying roles to target and narrowing your search. However, if you have a clear idea of the entry-level roles or internships you are interested in, we recommend completing the resume writing portion of the service first.
RESUME WRITING
You'll send us a copy of your most recent resume and/or LinkedIn profile and a job posting or description of how you plan to use the materials. We'll set a call (30-45 minutes) to go over your work history and career goals in great detail. The resume writer from your call (your career coach) will write the first draft of your resume and send it to the other writer to review for clarity, bias, and errors. We’ll go back and forth internally before sending the materials to you. We will deliver your resume in an editable .doc format and a ready-to-send PDF. The turnaround time for this service is 7 business days from the consultation call. After you receive a draft, you may email us any questions or notes. We offer unlimited revisions for one week after delivery.
COVER LETTER WRITING SERVICE
You'll send us a sample job posting that you'd like to use the cover letter for. Your writer/coach will write the first draft of the letter and send it to the other writer to review for clarity, bias, and errors. We'll go back and forth internally before sending the materials to you. We will deliver your cover letter in a Word document that includes a formal cover letter and a shorter email version. You may choose to complete this service in tandem with the resume writing service or complete it after you've received your resume. If you opt to complete this service separately from the resume writing service, the turnaround time is 2 business days from when we receive the sample posting.
Terms & Policies
Prior to purchase, we are happy to respond to any questions over email – contact us at info@hollywood-resumes.com.
Upon purchase, we will reach out to schedule a consultation call. Once the consultation is set, this package is non-refundable. To ensure customer satisfaction, we offer unlimited revisions to your written materials for one week after you receive them.
Our turnaround time for the resume is 7 business days from the consultation call. You may provide a job posting for the cover letter during that time frame to receive a cover letter within the same turnaround time, or you may elect to complete the cover letter service after receiving your resume. If you elect to postpone the cover letter service, our turnaround time will be 2 business days from when you send us a sample job posting.
Our resume writing prices are based on an hourly rate, using an estimate of the time we expect will be devoted to each service, but you will only pay the rates quoted above. LinkedIn profiles, bios, and cover letters are a form of resume preparation. However, you need not purchase the LinkedIn profile, bio, or cover letter services if you only desire a written resume. We are not an employment agency, nor do we offer job seeking or placement services.
You may elect to receive the coaching service before or after you begin the resume and cover letter services.
Coaching sessions are non-refundable. If you miss a session with less than 24 hours notice, or if you arrive more than 20 minutes late for your session, with or without notice, you will forfeit that session. If you choose to reschedule, you may purchase a session a la carte at the full service rate ($185).
Coaching is not counseling or therapy. We will be walking you through exercises and strategies to help you figure out what you want and how to get there. We are not certified therapists or licensed counselors.
