If you can add that you are bilingual or trilingual or how many languages you know, it’s better too!!

That all sounds good. I would add a couple of references if you have them like an instructor if you took any assisting classes. I would also attach a photo of yourself to your resume so that way when they look back on it they have a face to the name.

Well first of all, it needs to have your experience, education, skills.

Experience should be what did you do for those jobs, and what did you succeed at.

Education: Just your standard education

Skills: You gained a few skills, apply to it.

summary, skills, professional experience, education, certifications - by this order.

No more than 2 pages .

Bullet point articulated in STAR or PSR format.

volunteer work, school projects, achievements !! put what YOU did and achieved, make your bullets strong and clearly show your impact :) all the best on your summer job

For someone at your stage, volunteering is probably one of the best ways to get some experience and exposure that you might not get from work alone. If you know what you're interested in, then a good idea would be to volunteer at orgs that are in the same ballpark.

PS: The resume writing guide in the wiki of this subreddit is a great resource—highly recommend checking it out!

I look for 2 plus years at least for each company and like to see promotions at the same place. If somebody has multiple switches in just a few years it is almost always a no go.

Recruiter here!

Standing out is not what you want, as the resume that stands out gets rejected. Resumes are built for one thing and one thing only, and that is to show you meet the minimum qualifications for the role. If you make it flashy and fancy, or filled with brags it fails to get results as it does not show your you meet the minimum qualification for the role.

As you are still in HS I am going to assume you are going for Customer Service and Retail Associate positions.

The keywords for those positions is going to be close to the following.

• GED/DEGREE Customer Service, Sales
• Multitask under deadlines/pressure, showing up to shifts on time
• POS systems, basic computer knowledge, and basic math knowledge.

You need to show those in bullet points under previous jobs/internships/projects/volunteer activities/ etc, and show HOW you used them and the reason or result of them.

As an example, here are a few bullet points for customer service/retail you could use.

• Gave customers correct change by adding and subtracting cash.
• Used a desktop computer to read company emails, take online barista training courses, and input shift availability into our schedule
• Upsold drink sizes and gave customers correct change when asked for the bill by performing addition and subtraction if they paid in cash rather than a credit card

Keep the resume to one column, Arial 10.5 font, very little bolding, and make sure your contact information at the top is correct.

Hope that helps!

Go to your preferred search engine. Then Look for the stanford resume template for no experience (yet) people Or just look for the stanford resume & cover letter template.

Break a leg

Just break down the things you do into skills. If you use a computer say your computer literate etc.

www.google.com

Yes you would articulate any clubs, activities outside of regular class. Use words like strong attention to detail, energetic, proficient, computer skills. You can get many samples by just googling resume for high school student. You can also hire someone to do it for you.

Highlight any relevant skills (teamwork, customer service, etc.), extracurricular activities, volunteer work, or coursework. Be concise and focused. Even for fast food, showing you're proactive, organized, and eager can make a difference. Keep it neat and professional-looking.

Dm me i can help. Im an expert in this

Just put your name, contact information, City/State, high school diploma or when you expect to graduate. List your skills, like computer programs, communications, counting money, cooking, etc. If you have any awards or volunteer activities or sports or clubs, include them. It can be short, you don’t need to fill a page. To really jazz it up, add an authentic Objective statement, like “Seeking a first job that will be the start to a successful career, where I may learn valuable job skills and prove my worth.” Good luck!!

Depends what the job is. For example, you would put very different things if you were a chef compared to if you were a secretary. Focus on what skills the job would require and put those. For example, a receptionist might need to be friendly, great conversing with people, very detailed orientated, etc.

You should be tailoring your resume to each job you apply... not just sending a general one to many places.

Tailor it, but it's good to just have a basic one outlining your previous job roles and responsibilities, look through job adverts and person specifications and use the same vocabulary

Rather than "punctual" job adverts will say "good time management and attention to detail" include these terms in your CV, an example may be "whilst working on a crucial project I demonstrated my excellent time management and attention to detail by meeting each project deadline"

r/resumes

But you received specific instructions on what to include in the resume… it’s not like we can see what your current resume looks like so we can’t give feedback.

The hiring manager listed out exactly what to add to your resume. Why are you asking us?

I am in USA so this may or may not be helpful.

Asking for a photo makes me weary. Are you sure this is a reputable company? Be careful! Other than that...they seemed pretty specific in what details they wanted so I would stick with what they are asking (except the photo)

Good luck!

Sales accomplishments, industry education, summary of skills. It’s pretty rare that a company lists exactly what they want, but when they do, take their advice as literally as you can.

That being said.. Are you sure this is a vetted company? Asking for a picture throws up a warning flag for me. Also asking for a better resume in general while still complimenting your experience. Just something to check.

The photo is such a red flag, I would check for some sort of evidence if they're even a real company..

So. Summaries are not read on resumes, so don't oversweat it.

My suggested formula is this:

• X+ years of experience in field.
• 2 of your biggest successes
• 1 humanizing element (hobby, award, non-work related thing to make you stand out)
