Do not mention background work.
...in your resume, change your background into acting abilities. Example: your volunteer fire police could be listed as ABILITY: Police and firefighting techniques/practices/and training. - could net you a part as a cop, or firefighter...
Thank you for your suggestion - I will. Phil
Noooooo, don't mention anything about background work ,,, and do not write anything in your resume about background . No good
