High school resume templates

A first resume, written with no employment history to put on it.

Nobody expects a payroll record at sixteen, and pretending otherwise is what makes a first attempt look thin. A shift manager wants evidence you turn up: attendance, honour roll, the sport and its season commitment, band or robotics, hours given to a shelter, mowing lawns or minding a neighbour's toddler for cash. Then when you can actually work — after three, weekends, summers — and a coach or teacher who agreed to vouch. Add permit status where your state requires it.
