Could someone please help me in creating a resume..highschool senior?

I can only give you bare tips nothing more.

1. Your resume should be one page maximum with a fair bit of white space (one in border)

2. You should have some kind of objective. If you are going to attend college or university the objective might be as simple as saying you are looking for a temporary position to earn money for your upcoming college years (if your college plans are in a field that matches the company you are asking a job from then mention your college direction. (eg. You might be applying for a landscaping job and going for a degree in agriculture, or you might be applying for a metal work job temp and going to go to collage looking for an engineering degree, or a restaurant position and going to college for hotel and restaurant degree....get the idea) Show some vision...

3. Next comes an education section....identify the school and city, any special courses that might be useful in this job .... identify them......

4. You don't have work experience so the next section would be an "Accomplishment" section. Think of at least 3 no more than 5 things in your life that you feel really good about. It does not have to be work related but they should show something about your character.

for example: where you on a school sport team....perhaps you were the captain of a team that won an inter-school championship (shows leadership)

Perhaps you won a scholastic award (shows smarts)

Perhaps you did something special as a volunteer (ran a race raising money for cancer)

You write this section using action words

eg: - as a sponsored runner in the 2011 "Run for Cancer" completed the 25 kilometer marathon raising a total of $2000.00

Short and sweet with a punch.

5. "Other Interests" section, this is not a section you would use if you had lots of work experience...but you don't and this is optional...if short of space on your one page leave it out. Bullet list any major organizations that you feel good about (not controversial ones though..." - member of the young communist league" ....won't score points :)...volunteer organizations, major hobbies

6. Finally References....don't give them unless asked for them...you need 3 references (not relatives)...a teacher, coach, someone you have done odd jobs for....they should be typed neatly on a separate sheet of paper with your name at the top....names, addresses, telephone number

on the resume you simply put

References: Available upon request.

Ok there is a basic framework for a basic resume .....good luck

I'd say from my personal experience that you should apply where either of your parents worked so that they can give you a good reference. Make 'em proud though if you get the job. If not where they work then where some of your relatives work. You'd merely ask for an application and fill it out.

What's on an application is asking your name, address, phone, social security number, your high school and when graduated and they ask for what position you are applying for and they want good references. So you'd have to ask people like your minister, a teacher that gives you good grades, a neighbor who knows you're ok, maybe your coach if you played a sport, (just career type people), you'd need 4 and if they say they would give you a good reference for employment purposes then use their name, address and phone and occupation on your resume.

If you have done any volunteer work then that would look good on a resume as well.

If you know computers, internet, cashier work, have a dependable vehicle (with no speeding or parking violations), have taken a life saving course or first aid course then list any of those.

Granted it's not a lot but it's something, and any little bit will work in your favor.

Some people in their senior year are taking a college course. If you're doing that then write it on the resume.

If you call me I can help you with the resume and have a job history to support that with a letter of recommendation to show you have some experience. Be prepared and have a blank resume ready to fill out and a place a fax or email can be sent to ya.

Wow you know how to ask a question. Yahoo decided that all groups of people and races, religions should have their own categories and the elderly or seniors have their category. We are the ones who have been there, done it and got the t-shirt and even made a video of it all. Seniors came pass on their experiences to others and we are not afraid to learn new things as well from the younger ones on this site. Obviously we do know how to use a computer as we would not be on this site answering and asking questions and there would be no category called Senior Citizens. I have given you a star as your question made me chuckle and I could not wait to see the answers that you received.

Microsoft templates available free on this site. This is how I made mine. There are many examples and styles to choose from. Good Luck!
