So I recently got on good terms with a manager of an ARS chain store and I need help to build my resume

I had one built over the summer but unfortunately it was saved on a flash drive that recently snapped so I need to build a new one

Any advice would be appreciated

EDIT: I have no job experience at all and as for education while I am getting straight A's this year I still have only graduated 3 years.
Yay for being a senior

Tell them you're a hacker.

List your accomplishments that indicate good leadership and interpersonal skills. It makes you look like an excellent team player.

Any way you can demonstrate dependability ( I dunno, attendance records??), Employers like that kind of stuff.

Do you really need a resume if you've never had a job before? The point of resumes are to list your previous professional experience and relate that to skills that a future employer might be looking for. If you have no professional experience, you have no skills, so the only thing you really have to put on your resume are your contact details and mission statement.

I could be wrong, but you can very easily get an entry level job without a resume, especially if you know the manager. Most entry level type employers (i.e. minimum wage) have standard applications you can fill out in lieu of taking resumes because they know those types of jobs usually interest teenagers who have never worked before.

I am with Panda on this.

Handing someone a piece of paper that says your high school home room teacher likes that you are the attendance taker before first period is not an adequate amount of content in a resume to justify its existence.

Do you need a resume for this job? If so, then ask them what type of things they expect from a teenager.

Until you have graduated High School and have a final GPA or until you have a Job or Internship, a resume can't really define you as a suitable employee with a decent set of skills.

P.S. Do not even think about saying that you have hacked things. A. it is a lie. B. it isn't something they want to see.
