- Look online - there are many free resume templates ans samples to choose from
- Send me an email and I will look over it for you
- The objective is "where you want to be"
- This all looks great! You have education and the experience. Awesome! Because you are a recent high school graduate your best option is to list education first. You want your resume to shine with accomplishments, and for you that would be graduating from school. So put that right at the top. Also, you may want to include any extra curricular activities you were involved in under education. Also, if it is higher than a 3.0, list your GPA. After that, list your experience, then list your skills separately. Make sure your resume is not over one page. Also, and this is important: You need to create a one-page cover letter. This is important because it allows you to "talk" directly to the potential employer. You will be able to tell them about yourself on a personal and professional level with a cover letter. You can include your hobbies,your accomplishments, and why they should hire you for the job. Be sure to tailor each cover letter for the specific job that you are applying for. Good Luck:)
