Tips for writing a resume?

[Ramin G]

im 15 and looking for a job

[cryingwolfsheart]

a functional resume would be the best. Put it directly to the job you want like

Kitchen help
* Help mom clean and cook dinner
* worked with cook at school cutting Vegas
* clean and dry dishes
Eduction
Lake field middle school
still attending
Hobbies and Classes I like.

The school counselor should have a book on functional resumes just look for ones based on first job.
have fun!
