Essay on Why You Should Hire Me For This Fabulous Fellowship Where I'd Get To Make Masks All Day
Gift fic for Acid and two collabs which my collaborators have been patiently not nagging me about, thank all three of you very much.
When I went to URT/As (theatre folk and artists might appreciate this tip, URT/A-bound or not) I made up one-page resumes like everyone did, for all the recruiters to take at their leisure. In addition, however, I made up "mini portfolios" which consisted of a half-page sheet with my name, contact information, and several thumbnails of my work on it. I stapled these to my resumes so that even when they didn't have my portfolio there for reference, they had some photographs to remind them of what my work looked like.
I've done the same for the conference this time around, although now of course the thumbnails are of study guides I've done and newspaper articles I've written. Several grad-school recruiters told me that the portfolio page is what got me an interview with them, but I'm wondering if scholars will take it in quite the same light...
