The application process involves completing an online Employment Application Form (EAF) on the Glimmerglass Website and attaching a single PDF containing a one-page cover letter and a one-page resume with references. Some positions may require an additional portfolio link (preferred).
Cover letter
One (1) page PDF. A single one-page Cover Letter is requested; you do not have to submit multiple cover letters if you are applying for multiple apprentice positions in a single application. Indicate the earliest date available and the latest departure date. Date ranges are included for each apprenticeship. Glimmerglass start dates are often more flexible than end dates- sometimes, a week of flexibility can be given depending on the position. Applications with start and end dates that are significantly outside the dates provided below will not be considered.
Resume
One (1) page PDF. Include telephone number, e-mail address, education (post high school, if applicable), work, and internship experience (with dates). Multiple single-page resumes are recommended when applying for multiple apprentice positions, each detailing your experience for the appropriate desired apprentice position you are applying for. These can be combined into your single PDF submission.
References (Should be included on the same page as either the Cover Letter or Resume)
Provide contact information for three references. Indicate your relationship to each reference, their telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses. Applications listing “References upon request” will not be considered.
Portfolio (Online portfolio link is requested when required)
Some positions (Communications, Costumes, Costume Crafts, Costume Design, Hair & Makeup, Props, Scenic Art, Scenic Carpentry, Scenic Design, or Technical Direction) may require examples of your previous work. Please include either a link to your digital portfolio/webpage or images with descriptions on additional pages at the end of your PDF submission. An online portfolio link is requested when a portfolio is required. The PDF file, in combination with your portfolio (as applicable), should be no larger than 10MB.
