From a fast driver or flying instructor to a scary character (e.g zombies) there are many potential job positions in the experience industry.

For example, actors and make-up artists are best suited for zombie experiences. The job role you could land could reward you with an annual income of 30,000. Tips for Acquiring a Job at an Experience Company Similar to any other job, you have to spend quality time searching for openings and putting together an impressive CV. Here are some tips that you will find useful. Your resume and cover letter Experience companies are keen on providing customer satisfaction. The experiences they provide are unique and of a real life nature. Your resume must reflect your ability to contribute to the services they provide. Be sure to highlight your unique skills and experiences. Use your cover letter to introduce yourself and spark interest. It should be a precursor to what is to come in your resume. Do not load your cover letter with the same information you will present in your resume, but rather use an impressive bit of information (such as an experience) to stimulate interest. This should be done in such a manner that will cause the reader to want to move on to the resume. You are applying for an exciting position so make your CV reflect your ability to be exciting, lively and captivating. When they meet you in person there should not be a disconnect between you and the individual reflected in the resume. Complete your resume with at least two impressive references. Your Portfolio Your portfolio is going to be your calling card. After an impressive cover letter and resume your portfolio should seal the deal. Use this to give an impressive and vivid display of any creative work you have done. Organize it in such a manner that it shows a progression, from high school or earlier, through to your latest bit of work. Were you, or are you, a part of any club, society or other voluntary body that put on plays or other activities that showcase your skills? Use everything of relevance to build your portfolio. You will be going up against other great talents, and nothing but your ace game will be good enough. Search for Jobs Once you are satisfied that you have an ace cover letter, resume and portfolio, it is now time to contact the experience company for a job. Search for jobs in the newspaper, and online as well. Experience companies usually have some online presence as the Internet is used to market their products. Check their websites to see if any of them are advertising any upcoming auditions. As soon as you find one that will be auditioning, do some research on the company and be sure to attend the audition. Jack Harding has extensive experience as a career advisor.
