How Does Resume Writing Even Work????

Post date: 2019-12-11 12:13:50

I've made it to my late 30s without ever having had to go through a normal job application process, and so have almost no practical experience with writing a resume or cover letter. I am absolutely desperate for non-bullshit advice as to how to go about this.

Possibly important details:
-- I've been freelance since 2007, and am trying to apply for in-house jobs
-- I work in a creative field, so my work history is a mix of personal projects and freelance gigs
-- I'm applying for semi-creative jobs at creative companies (think "producer")

This questions is a direct result of the twin panic attacks of "what the hell am I supposed to list as skills" and "how am I supposed to organize my giant list of gigs and publications and how far back am I even supposed to GO."

I don't really know enough about this to be able to google for advice, since I have no idea how to separate the useful guidance from SEO nonsense, so really, ANY help at all would be EXTREMELY appreciated!!
