What goes on a high school resume

Start with school, expected graduation and GPA if it's strong. Then activities, sports, clubs and volunteering, with a line each about what you did. Skills come next: languages, software, anything a manager would care about. Part-time jobs, babysitting and lawn care count as experience. The High School First Resume is built for exactly this and is the best place to start. Once you have a job or two, the entry-level templates shift the balance toward work experience.

Keeping it honest and specific

A short, accurate resume beats a padded one. Write what you actually did ('handled cash and closing for a 6-person shift') rather than generic phrases. The free resume-building guide is written for people doing this for the first time. If you're heading to university soon, the college resume templates are the next step.

Do I need a resume for a part-time job?

Not always, but bringing one makes you look prepared and helps you fill out applications faster.

What if I have no work experience?

Lead with education, activities and skills. Volunteering, school projects and informal work all count.

Should I include references?

No. Provide them separately if asked.
