Depends on the type of job. For a performer, generally 1 page with a headshot. For a general stagehand, one page. For a high skill job at a large company like Cirque du Soleil or a managerial role, more pages could be better. Just keep it clean, organized, and relevant.

One Page or possibly one page double sided.

Hi all,
I had a video screening interview earlier last week, got an email back couple days later and this is what the email says ( referred to screenshot below).
I replied with a date and time which is today at 1:30pm- I still didn’t get a response. Needless to say I emailed them this morning to remind them.
What to make if this ?
