What is the size of US "legal paper?

What size paper do you use for your acting resume?

• I keep hearing different answers from different people about the size of an acting resume. Some say it should be 8x10, the size of your head shot. The reason being that it fits directly under your head shot which makes it look neat. Others say the resume can be standard size of normal paper which is 8.5x11. So which size should I use? Also can you leave a sample of what an acting resume should look like. In addition if you have any other advice about acting resume's I would love to hear it.

• Answer:

  It should be on a single sheet of size A4, which is about 11 by 8.5. Font, size and stye are up to you, but make it very easy to read, well-spaced and clear. Use good quality typing paper, either white, pale cream or light beige. Always get someone else to check the spelling and grammar for you when you've finished it - professionals hate bad English and spelling mistakes.
