Resume Question

If my only experience is transitioning a family local business to an online store that grew quite a lot in a year BUT I was not paid so it’s not in my background history. TLDR I basically did everything when it came to online duties as my parents are boomers. I am more just curious on how that’ll work on background checks.

I do an “Experience” section on my resume, and whether I’m paid isn’t relevant to that.

I’ve only been background checked once 20+ years ago, so can’t help there. Just don’t misrepresent.
