Don't Make This Dumb Resume Mistake...

  • Angela Silak & Cindy Kaplan

If you claimed to work on a project, you should probably know what it is. We've seen resumes that call TV shows feature films, or narrative features documentaries, or web series TV series. That's a huge red flag that you're either not paying attention or fabricating your entire resume. Assume the people you're looking to work for are good at their jobs and aware of the projects around town. If the project is sexy enough for you to name-drop it, it's probably something they've heard of.

​And one of the best ways to get ahead at any entry-level job is to be aware of every project your company is working on so you can impress the higher-ups with relevant suggestions and intel. Plus, wouldn't you want to know what's going on at your company in the first place? :) ​
