job help (with resume)

[andrew lucas]

okay, i know the resume format may vary for wherever you live. But im not sure.

anyways, ive been wanting to get a job for a little while now, i need the extra cash and everytime i ask my mom to help me make my first real resume she sais yeah.. but we never get down to it.

so expecting ill never get help from her i was wondering if anyone could help me with a resume format?

if your location varies, idk if it will help but i live in canada, ON

For most basic entry jobs for teenagers you don't need a resume. Just go in and fill out an application.

Just state there that you'd want to apply for that specific position and have yourself interviewed.

this answer is a bit late but here

it should look alittle like this

Name
Adress
Phone
Email

Objective:

Qualifications:

Education:

Intrests community involvment:

Refrences: always put "available upon request"

a little like that thats how mine was yea it could vary but employers get tons of resumes they want one thats short and says to them "hey hire me i'm great" they want to read the first page and go yes this is the person i want so keep it at one page

It doesn't sound like you would have that much to put on it, but the format is usually as above.

I probably sound like a broken record to some of you by now..............but, VOLUNTEER WORK!!!

I have an AWESOME resume because I'm involved in so much volunteer work. I never actually get paid for most of what I do, but I have a lot of crap on my resume. People who get involved in volunteer work typically are of a higher quality. Plus, you'll meet a ton of high-quality like-minded people who may actually get a you a good job one day.

I recently found out that someone I know very well from volunteer work was the dean a major ivy-league university several years ago. Boom! Guess who will be writing a Letter of Recommendation for me when it comes time for trying to apply to graduate school?
