Re: HELP!
Do you have no credits at all? Have a look at some of the CVs on KCCP (there is a featured profile on the right hand side that changes every time you refresh the page). I'm sure you will see that lots of people have put school productions and amateur dramatic productions on their pages.
In my experience, CCP is not particularly vigilant about vetting people's profiles. I know that they state that you can only have a profile on CCP (adult actor version) with accredited training and/or professional credits, but I have seen scores and scores of profiles filled with amateur credits with actors claiming that they have trained at places like RADA when what they mean is that they've paid to do a summer school there
(or claiming a foundation course is a post-graduate course 
).
The fact that they are not very strict may help those starting out - in my opinion it devalues the the claim that it is a site for professionals.
I think CCP's website is very well put together with some excellent resources and is very user friendly - I applaud their website designer! However, I don't think it's used as much as Spotlight by employers with properly paid work to offer.
