A well-crafted profile makes a strong first impression with employees. Staff Me Up recommends adding at least two credits before applying, but it's okay if you're new to the industry.

What counts as relevant experience? 
Include non-industry experiences or school projects if they're relevant to your target roles. For example: Film school productions, Indie podcast, work Event organizing, loading/unloading gear. Many transferable skills are valued, especially for Production Assistant (PA) roles.
