Why You Should Include All Your Skills On StuntListing...And Rate Them Too!
As a stunt performer, your skills are your most valuable asset. That's why when it comes to finding the right performer for the job, the StuntListing search engine was specifically designed for skill-based searches.
Whether you specialize in fire burns, stunt driving or hand-to-hand combat, each one of your skills can get you hired for your next gig. There's no telling what skill a coordinator may need when, that's why it's essential to include ALL of your skills on your StuntListing profile.
When adding a new skill, you'll notice it must be accompanied by a description. Including details about your training, notable instructors or awards received are just a few things that could go there. If you rate each skill, you'll automatically be placed in search results above performers who didn't - guaranteeing you'll be seen before them. If you're a Premium subscriber, be sure to take advantage of the skill reel perk to support your claim.

Not convinced you should list all your skills? Here's a few more reasons why it's a good idea:
1. It shows your versatility.
Including all of your skills on your StuntListing.com profile shows that you're a well-rounded performer who can handle a variety of different stunts. This makes you a more attractive candidate to coordinators looking for performers who can do it all.
2. It helps you get more work.
It's simple - the more skills you include, the more skills you can get hired for. Even if a production isn't looking for a performer with your specific skill, if a coordinator sees it on your profile, they may be more likely to consider you for future projects that need that skill.
3. It sets you apart from the competition.
When stunt coordinators are sifting through dozens of profiles on StuntListing.com, it's important to stand out from the crowd. By including all of your skills with a filled out profile, it shows you're serious about your career and committed to mastering your craft.
4. It demonstrates your level of expertise.
When you list all your skills and rate them, it gives coordinators a better sense of the overall level of expertise you have in each area. Seeing your abilities rather than simply reading about them increases your chance to get hired, so don't forget to include a skill reel on your profile. This can be particularly important if the coordinator's filling a role that requires a very specific type of stunt or skill set.
5. It increases your value.
The more skills you have, the more valuable you are to productions. If you're the cream of the crop, it may be the difference of flying you in or hiring someone local. But you'll never know if you don't include them all.
Including all your skills on your StuntListing.com profile is essential if you want to succeed as a stunt performer. If you haven't reviewed your profile lately, take the extra time to make sure it includes all of your skills – you never know what opportunities it may lead to!
