If you feel your lack of training is glaringly obvious then go out and get more of it. While listing your MBA and CPA will perhaps allow us to see you've accomplished something in life it will mean little to us as far as your entertainment skills go. Everyone in the business had to start somewhere and you will build up credits over time and there is no substitute for time. The lack of experience on your resume is a bigger deal to you than it will be to other professionals who will know what they're looking at when they see it. It's not a crime to be an inexperienced beginner.

If you don't have any credits, show that you're serious by having training from the best and unique Special Skills/Abilities that you can actually do.

And don't lie by putting Extra Work!


i see my question was not clear; i meant to say can i list my MBA? How about my CPA status and gen office skills?
I don't want to list stuff just to fill in blake space but i also don't viewed as useless or unrealiable.

I personally don’t mind listing office skill but I want to list my MBA or CPA for two reasons;
1. I want to be looked as an actor and not as office help (I don’t mind stepping up to help if needed)
2. I don’t want to look like I am bragging or even worse a know-it-all-jerk

However, I feel having no credits, no actual performance skills and lack of training (1 acting course) would make me look unreliable/professional (I won’t take chance on someone who no experience at all)


You would list it under Special Skills/Abilities

So:
Special Skills/Abilities
Accounting (CPA), Business Degree (MBA), bow-staff skills,
