Example Media & Entertainment, shown in the Sidebar template. Fictional example. Names, employers and achievements are illustrative; contact details are placeholders.

Show a portfolio with permission

The example.com portfolio address is a placeholder. Replace it with your own accessible work. A working portfolio is useful evidence for this role. Link only to work you may share, credit collaborators and identify your contribution. The fictional sample has no link to a real person’s account.

Make booking capacity credible

A booking count is not a count of faces completed alone. The sample separates individual work from assignments using an assistant, which makes the schedule and responsibilities clearer.

Explain continuity work concretely

For shoots, describe reference photographs, touch-ups and coordination with the production team. Avoid claiming film credits that cannot be checked or listing every technique you have only observed.
