Email: this is vital, as it is a means for both us and employers to contact you. Should you change your e-mail address change please change it in your online resume.

login and password: choose your own - it can be anything! You can change them whenever you want by deleting your current choice and typing in something new then clicking update at the bottom of the form.

Address: This is confidential and does not appear on your resume. It is simply for our records.

Phone numbers: In most cases employers will contact you by phone. You can choose whether your contact numbers are visible or hidden. If you choose to keep them hidden the following message appears on your resume, For contact numbers call Moray or Simon... and we will pass on your numbers.

Primary and Secondary Job Types: these are your two main job types, the two areas in which you would most like to work. (You can, if you prefer, list a primary job type and leave the secondary job type blank.) These are displayed alongside your name. This provides employers with a quick and easy method of distinguishing a freelancers main area of work. Primary and Secondary job types do not affect searches. For instance, if you have listed DV director as a Job Type, but not as a Primary or Secondary job type, you still come up in searches for DV Director. (For further information see Job Types below.)

About Me: this section is for you to promote yourself to employers. You might wish to emphasise certain career experience, or lay down your intended career path. Really, its a means for an employer to tell what youve done and what youre hoping to do, and for you to communicate your objectives.

Credits/Employment History: There is a limit of 4,000 characters (approx. 1.5 sides of A4) in this field. (You can upload a Word version of your resume which can be of any length and would include your personalised formatting - see Help page when youre logged in.) As with the About Me section, you have free rein over what you write. Here are a couple of suggestions... but they are by no means absolute, as different people have different approaches... If youre very experienced and have many credits you might not wish to go into too much detail about each particular production. If youre more junior you might wish to write a few sentences on each production - what it was, what your role involved. If you have no TV & Film credits, put in your other work experience, and in your About Me section explain how the skills you have acquired can translate from one industry to the TV & Film industry.

Specialisms: regard these as areas of knowledge rather than areas of expertise or subjects realting to programme types on which youve worked. (e.g. you might be a keen, green-fingered gardener, yet not have experience of gardening programmes - in which case its fine to list gardening, or you might have an engineering degree, so could list Engineering.)

Other specialisms: You can type in any other specialisms. Employers can run text searches that pick out these words (e.g. palaeontology, dentistry... or on my test resumes I have doggies!).

Programme Types: these are the types of programme on which you have worked rather than the types of programme on which you would like to work.

Job Types: You can tick more than one job type, but we ask that you fill in your main two job types (see Primary and Secondary job types above). It is from these that searches are run. Several job types may be applicable (e.g. Producer, Director, Producer/Director, Writer). Select the job types most suitable to you. You can choose a maximum of four. For junior freelancers we recommend that you tick the main job areas of production in you are interested in working.
