If you're in high school, what is the best kind of tips for writing a resume?

Answer 1

Use Resume Wizard. It gives you subjects and you chose which ones you want. Basically creates it for you.

Answer 2

Don't

Most probably you don't have enough practical experience to fill an entire page. Which means you will be either dragging in every type of filler you can to take up space, or you will be fluffing what you do have and coming dangerously close to 'fibbing.'

If you are applying for a job that does not have a 'fill in the blank' application, you should sum up your experience in a well thought out cover letter. This allows you to explain why you should get the job and is far more effective than a list of what you've done so far.

Answer 3

Keep it short; summarize your strengths; and get ideas and tips from these sites. Then let a few of your favorite teachers read it and get their opinions.

Use good grammar, punctuation, spelling, and common sense.

Answer 4

Neatness and organization! Make sure you spell everything correctly and review for mistakes. Even obvious typos can turn off a potential employer because you didn't bother to check.

Answer 5

list extracirricular (sp?) that show increased responsibilities, leadership qualities, need for creative solutions, teamwork, etc. (i.e., worked your way up from team member to president of the club) if the activities that you currently participate in don't allow you to grow in these areas, look for ones that will.
