You really don’t, but what you do is give a snapshot of things you have done in school, extra curricular activities that help the community, etc., and apply. No one expects you to come to work at 15 with loads of experience.
Hi:
You can find many sample resume formats by searching on Yahoo. Here are things that you can include on your resume
Volunteer Work
Special After school Clubs
Sports
Interests
Expected College Major
Special Awards that you have received.
Volunteering is a good way to create evidence that you are capable of working with others.
Are you involved in any sporting teams? What values have you learnt from this? (team work, punctuality, responsibility, resilience etc)
Do you belong to a community group? Consider again what you know about life from this…
Have you done any volunteer work?
Are you involved in extra curricular activities at school?
If you are involved in these types of things, try to get one the people in charge (coach, team leader, teacher etc) to be one of your referees.
Also, if you’re not involved in anything like this and could be consider joining one or two things (depending on how much time you think you would have if you want to work too) as these all look good to potential employers who can see that you can show dedication to a team/cause/group.
Oh, and remember that not many employers will expect a 15yr old to have a long employment history!!
put all your personal info like date of birth etc. put your school history where and when and how many grades of A or B you can remember leave out the C’s. put your best classes down. put what you like to do, read, baseball, etc. get at least 3 references from friends thier name and phone number will do. put down where you’re planning to graduate High School and put down, If you are planning to attend, which college or junior college you want to attend
