Currently I'm a student, and looking for a decent part time job.
I've had some jobs in food service, and two month in construction. The only decent job I had was in the military (mechanic), but it has nothing to do with the job I'm trying to apply for now. (I'm applying for a bank teller)

Your previous experience doesn't have to be in the field you are seeking, just put your history, wages, references, education and anything that would show your knowledge of the position, even volunteering is helpful, if you have references.

Well lets see, Bank tellers have to be good with figures, counting money and people skills. Focus on those areas in your resume. Focus on courses you have taken which highlight those skills and even your extracurricular activities. Example: "Treasurer of Student council" would indicate that you can manage money. Class president or volunteer work at a nursing home or hospital would indicate that you have good people/interpersonal skills. Did you take any finance or accounting classes? Indicate that. Remember though Bank tellers are considered entry level positions and is a hard job to fill so they will not require too much experience and will train you on the job. Just the fact that you are going to school will be a plus for them. GOOD LUCK.

You need to use a functional resume. List your Summary, Skills and Education at the top of your resume. You may wish to include some of the applicable classes you took on your resume as well.
Rule of thumb is to keep the resume focused on the type of position you are seeking. For finance I would put all your computer and customer service skills at the top of your resume. Also put down that you are currently attending school with the anticipated graduation date. If it is not job related then do not include it. You may wish to put your military experience on your resume since some company's like to hire ex-military and veterans.

I was also in the military (Air Force) and struggled with my resume when I entered the civilian world. You need to use a functional resume to highlight your transferable skills. If you need help, I can take a look at your resume for you. You can email me through Yahoo! Answers.

Put major emphasis on your skills that apply directly to the job you're applying for and get some good references, maybe some of your professors.
