Why Not?"},"content":{"rendered":"
Crowdfunding plays a big role in the independent film scene. Does crowdfunding present any value to someone simply looking to spice up a resume? Of course it does.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Well-written articles published online discuss the resume-boosting benefit of running a crowdfunding campaign. The points presented in those articles make sense. Crowdfunding is a job like any other professional endeavor. Even if the campaign runs short, launching and managing a crowdfunding campaign speaks positively about a person’s professionalism. The “crowdfunder” did something that requires knowledge, skill, and commitment. All that looks impressive on a resume.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What of the person donating money to the crowdfunding campaign? Can donating funds do anything for a resume? A basic rule about resumes and job searches goes as follows: something is better than nothing. Look at the following two examples for an illustration:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0EXAMPLE #1:
\n\"funding-models\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

EXAMPLE #2<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Crowdfunding Donations:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Directed funds towards the completion of a graphic novel, documentary feature, and independent television program.<\/div>\n
Remained in contact with crowdfunding managers at different phases of production.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Clearly, the blankness of example one doesn’t exactly impress.<\/div>\n
Again, something<\/em> is better than nothing.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The example of donating money to crowdfunding campaigns isn’t exactly something that belongs at the top of a r\u00e9sum\u00e9. The header fits better at the bottom next to Volunteer Work, Awards and Recognition, and Professional Affiliations. It’s something extra that adds to a r\u00e9sum\u00e9. Revealing interest and support of crowdfunding campaigns does help those reviewing the\u00a0 r\u00e9sum\u00e9 paint a picture in their heads about the person whose name sits at the top of the r\u00e9sum\u00e9. Interests, enthusiasm, motivations, and more reveal themselves in action. Donating to a crowdfunding campaign reflects clear action.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Don’t dismiss crowdfunding’s ability to make you look better on a r\u00e9sum\u00e9. Stay active and involved. Resumes benefit from this approach.<\/strong><\/div>\n
