Putting together a resume for a child who is just starting out can be confusing since the child probably doesn’t have any experience. It’s actually not as challenging as it seems. You will list your daughter’s name in bold at the tops, beneath that- stats and agency (or contact info. in no agent yet), then list film, tv, theatre, commercials, training and special skills (in that order). Skip the categories where she doesn’t have credits yet. Here is a sample:
