Thirty-some years ago, when I worked in the Production department of VH1 (back when VH1 had actual music shows), I was responsible for handling incoming resumes and forwarding them to the appropriate producer or executive (except for interns, who I hired).
And boy, did we get a lot of resumes. This was in the early days of the Internet, so most were printed on paper, and then there were the few who tried to stand out with gimmicks. The only one I remember is a guy who sent his resume on a cereal box with his demo reel inside.
He didn’t get hired, but we did eat the cereal.
Clever gimmicks didn’t work back then, and they’re the kiss of death in today’s publishing world…
