Script Editor Resume

Script editors read, cut, and add contents to the script in order to make it presentable, convincing, and interesting. They work for TV channels, films, drama company, and book or novel publications. Their job is not limited to editing only. They have to meet and brief writers, speak with producers, directors, technicians, and make-up artists and help in creating an engaging story. Since scripts form the soul of the presentations, they have to be edited thoroughly so that directors can build their vision reading them.

A job application for a script editor position has to be as interesting as the script of a blockbuster film or soap. Of course, you don't have to write a story of your career. The reason behind stating the sentence is to press the importance of job application.
