I'm applying for a few different jobs. I've only worked at Firehouse Subs for two months, but quit because... it was really a horrid place to work at and I needed more hours. I've also worked at an Oral Surgeon's office for two months cleaning surgical tools and setting up trays.
I don't have that much experience, yet a lot of applications ask for resumes. Should I leave it blank, and if not.. what can I put on there?

Hi,
If they ask for a resume then you need to provide one. I am including a site that will help you write your resume. Don't be afraid of it. It only needs to be one page long and includes your name, contact info. education, any special skills (you can emphasize your exceptional customer services abilities) and job history. It gives the employer an overview of who you are.
An important tip is that your resume should not have any grammatical errors.

I hate resumes, it reminds me of how fake the world is.
They should have applications you fill out with everything they want to know. Most resumes get thrown out and are a waste of paper.
However sometimes they do help and other times its just a power trip for the employer.
