To cast, or not to cast!

The casting breakdown went out yesterday for the latest project (where would we be without PCR)!

As the CVs and headshots come in I’m struck with how similar this is to recruiting staff in an office…

Some emails simply state “Oi! Here’s me headshot, have a gander” (I’m paraphrasing but you get the idea). Now amongst these mails are some headshots which look right for the roles, but…

On the other hand, there’s the odd email which is well crafted and before I even get to the link to the dreaded headshot I’m putting this person in the ‘to be considered’ pile.

If you’re planning on applying for a role, it pays to take a moment to consider the quality of your introductory message.
