I'm going to get a worker's permit so I have the ability to apply for jobs at restaurants,motion picture theaters,grocery stores,basically anyone that will hire me.Do I need to make a resume,and what do I put on it?I've never had an actual job before,so I don't really have any past experience.


Answer:
A resume is not necessary at this time. The restaurant, store, or theater should have an application form on the internet or at the location. Just fill it out and follow up with calls.
At this age there’s little you can put on a resume so just fill out an application and follow up.
Good luck.

Answer:
Ashley, It is not necessary to have work experience included in your resume. Honesty, works well with others and other such tags are things that all employers are looking for in a job applicant. I’m sure experience in school, church or community activities listed in your resume would be very attractive. You may want to document it with letters from people who know you through these pursuits. At very least it will prepare you for the future. It is a good idea to have a resume and will put you ahead of others who don’t. Best of luck.

Answer:
It's important to have a good resume, it is worth taking the time to compose something that looks great and does the job well. Alternatively you could try making a living from your pc just like me!! Check out the website below, it tells you about SMC, a company sponsored by Tom Boswell of Happy Days (Howard Cunningham).

Answer:
No LOL. You dont have a resume anyway. You cant make one.

A resume shows education (you dont have a HS diploma yet or any college so you’ve no real education to put on it). And also a resume has past work history which you dont have.

No you walk into a store and fill out an application.


Answer:
It will be quite a short one, but do it anyway for the practise!

Answer:
No, you don't need a resume and shouldn't use one (yet). The places you’re speaking about will have job applications for you to fill out. They generally will require you to fill out one of their applications anyway and won’t accept a resume in its place. Just fill the application out and turn them in. Restaurants, theater, etc are not anticipating resumes from applicants, and since you’ve no previous experience it might be viewed strangely.

A resume needs to be tailored to the position that you are seeking. For example, most dishwasher positions at a restaurant are not going to need a resume (they will just have a job application). But for a manager position for the same restaurant, it might be more appropriate to have a resume. Resumes don't generally work for entry-level positions. They’re also pointless when you don't have any experience or specific education to support it.
