40 Answers Hello,
I am a 15 year old female, I will be 16 the beginning of September. At 16 I will be able to work without a permit so it will be a little bit easier to get a job I enjoy. I understand that I am at the bottom of the highering pile but I do have Job expierence. I have worked in two fast food restraunts(One was almost for a year and no I was not fired) and volunteered at the memorial cup delivering game stats and such to the media. I was wondering if someone on AMHD could help me write out my resume, I have checked online and such, but I want an original one of a kind resume that makes an employer take a double look. Can anyone help me? Thread Summary |

I've edited out some information (names, addresses, phone numbers, etc) but you still can get the point. It is boring  I haven't updated my other job on there yet (I still work there until I find a better job that doesn't make me want to pull out my hair and come home and beat my pillow every single day!)
I'm almost 100% sure I am a great working, at both jobs I have had I got a 50 cent raise in my first 2 months, I was/am making more than people who have been there for 3 years. I was NEVER late, and I have never called in sick (No matter how ill I was, I stuck through it). At both reviews I have had I have had nothing but good feedback. | | |  | Jobs & Parenting Expert | |

Omit the Objective. It doesn't say anything. Today's resumes don't use an objective. ("Orientated" means "faced the east." You must mean "oriented.")

| | | I've had a few babysitting jobs, I can only think of one worth putting down, the others were a one or two time thing. | | |  | Jobs & Parenting Expert | |

Yes, babysitting would be good. You don't have to list the names of the families. Do you remember the time period? How many families and kids were there? | | |  | Jobs & Parenting Expert | |
