I'm lost on what type of resume I need. I know eventually you'll get jobs based on recommendations, but I'm not there yet. Right now I have two types of resumes. For example one resume has my job experience of when I worked in my school's library, working at a movie theater, and my current job working as a PA at a news tv station. My other resume ONLY has PROJECTS I've worked on and what position I was. I dont have many in my post school career, but I'm starting to rack up a couple of professional PA gigs. My thought process was I should sort of make a combination of these two? To show for example if I was applying for a paid internship at a media company showing I have practical real life working experience and qualifications, or if applying for a gig showing that and experience with projects I've worked on. Anyone have any advice?

I’d like to start by saying hey and thank you for taking the time to read my post. I’m a long time reader and lover of this site and figured it was a good time to ask for some advice. I am a recent graduate who moved out to the Atlanta area within the last year. My intentions were to work in an area where I could comfortably start as a Digital Utility and move forward as I learned more, however it seems to have come to my attention that a lot of the camera crews here seem to be being brought over from wherever the Cinematographer is from. In most of my cases has been from LA. It’s come to the decision making point of if I will end up chasing the camera path or if I will work my way through the electric path where the work seems more plentiful. I would like to take this time to ask the forum member and Cinematographers their opinion on a decision such as this, and for any advice that my push towards the right direction. Thank you for everything.
