(4) The following monologue is about the entertainment profession.
trilogy The entertainment profession or " show business " attrcts many young people,but only few famous and prosperous. Talent is not enough becau show business is very competitive. Without a good manager, a performer can never hope to succeed. Fashion is important in this business, too. A performer must change his "act" in order to follow the
taste of the moment. This is true for actors, dancers and comedians, but perhaps most of all for singers. A pop singer has to work very hard to become popular. Even when he has succeeded, and his records are sold everywhere, be cannot relax. Then he must work harder than ever to stay popular, becau there are always younger singers trying to become famous and to steal some of the popularity. The life of successful pop singer is not at all easy. He can only relax when he is alone, becau everything he does is watched and reported in the special newspaper writen for the " fans". The fans are the most important people in the world for the singer. They make him rich and famous. But they can be annoying, too. Sometimes their enthusiasm gets so hysterical that they do anything ot get a " souvenir". They steal hankerchiefs, they tear off buttons, and they even cut off pieces of the unfortunate singer's hair. Many singers have been forced to hide, and some who have not been so lucky ot escape even have been stripped practically naked by their fans.

The main purpo of a resume is to convince an employer to grant you an interview. There are two kinds. One is the familiar "tombstone " that lists where you went to school and where you have worked in chronological order. The other is what I call the " functional " resume--descriptive, fun to read, unique to you and much more likely to land you an interview.
It's handy to have a "tombstone" for certain occasions. But prospective employers throw away most of tho unrequested " tombstone " lists, preferring to interview the quick rather than the dead.
