Gah...I need help
How are you suposed to make a resume if you've never worked before??? And also how are you suposed to already be experienced before you get hired, if you can't get hired? lol
I don't even know where to start with a resume...
Advice needed!!!
Do you do any volunteer work? Are you involved with any school activities? Are you a member of any clubs or in any advanced placement classes? You can (and should) include anything like that on a resume :) Also include any skills that you have. I know a lot of schools have Career Centers, does yours? Maybe there's someone there who could help you put something together. Check out this website. It's very informative :)
Thanks, I'll check out that website.
Also, no I'm not in any clubs/activities, and Im going(hopefully) to a new school in September, for upgrading, so I don't know anything about it.
The only thing I have ever done is babysitting, I don't think that would be anything to add lol
No, that's the perfect thing to add! :D It shows you've taken on responsibilities :)Quote:

Absolutely include the babysitting. It is "work."
Everybody's got to start somewhere. At this point in your life, your resume will be mostly a record of education and skills. List computer programs that you are proficient in, too - whether or not you have taken classes in them. Emphasize your strengths and abilities.
Alas, "upstanding member of Pet Talk" doesn't go on resumes, but hey - depending on what you're applying for ... ;) just kiddin'
