Whether you're looking to snag a job at the mall or score a part in a movie, you're going to need a resume for all the jobs you apply for. But what if you don't have any work experience? Don't stress - Kidzworld has the 411 on putting a resume together.
What It Should Look Like
First impressions mean a lot when it comes to getting a job, so you want to make sure your resume stands out from the rest. This doesn't mean you should cut and paste all the words on your resume from a magazine or print it on florescent paper, but you should make it presentable. Use an easy to read font and print it out on good quality paper. Some office supply stores even have specific resume paper you can buy.
Contact Information
The most important thing to have on your resume is your contact information. This includes your full name, address, phone number and email address if you have one. Make sure all of your info is up-to-date cuz you don't want to miss a call for an interview!
Education
This is where you want to write the school you attend, what grade you are in and what level of education you have completed. If you've taken any courses outside of school like acting classes, babysitting training, or a CPR class, include those too.
Work Experience
Even if you have very limited work experience, include everything you have done. From babysitting to mowing lawns, every little bit counts! If you can't think of any work experience you have, just title this category "Experience" and list all of the volunteer work you've done in the past.
