A Beginner Actor has a hard path to walk. In the acting sector, one gets recognition not only via persistent work but only after showing some skills. Although some actors get an early break in their careers, for most of them journey is slow, filled with a number of challenges. Hence, while writing a resume for Beginner Actor you need some points that can get you in the limelight.
To begin with, the basic points that need to be covered in the resume are your personal details, your qualification, and some of the small & minor roles (if you have done any). If you have done a short film or any small role in any of the films or series, this might add some weight to your resume. In addition to this, you also need to add your statistics such as height, weight, hair color, eye color, complexion, and so on. This point can be eliminated, since it gets covered in the portfolio. But including the statistics in the resume might be helpful sometimes.
In addition to this, do not forget to mention all the jobs and tasks you used to do on the sets while you were with your previous employer.
