Credits, Training, Education, Skills, Awards and Press
A resume on paper is one page with everything squeezed onto it. A resume on a website is a set of sections, each of which can be as long as it needs to be, and each of which a design can place where it makes sense. Here is what each one holds and where it ends up.
The six sections
Credits are the spine of it. Grouped by medium, sortable, and taggable by genre so a visitor can see your range without reading every line. Covered in credits and filmography and sorting them.
Training is coaches, classes and ongoing study. Education is formal study at a named institution. They look similar on the page and are stored differently, which is worth knowing if you are wondering where something should go: the training and education page covers both.
Skills are a plain list of what you can actually do on the day. Hide one without deleting it when it is real but not relevant to what you are currently being seen for.
Awards and press are separate for a reason: an award is something you won, a press item is something somebody wrote. Designs often place them differently.
How a design decides what to show
A design names which sections it renders and where. Every one of those sections draws nothing at all when you have no rows in it, so an actor with no awards does not get an empty Awards heading.
Designs also differ in shape. Some are single-page, where everything scrolls in one document. Others put each section on its own address. Both render the same content from the same account, so the choice is about how you want it read rather than about what gets included.
If you want the traditional artifact as well as the page, upload a PDF resume and it becomes one click from your menu, correctly named and served so it opens rather than downloading blindly. The resume page type covers the difference between the two.
Worth checking once
Open your own site and confirm your training and your awards are actually on the page, not just in the admin. The two are not the same thing, and the admin is the one you look at.
The reason to check rather than assume is that you navigate your own site through the parts you already know are there. A section you added once and never revisited is exactly the one you stop seeing.
On why any of this belongs online, making it easy for casting to access your career information makes the case better than a feature list can.
