What goes on a resume
Top. Your name, phone, and email.
Skills. A few things you're good at, like 'organized,' 'reliable,' 'careful with details.'
Experience. Jobs, volunteer work, or school projects, with what you did.
Education. Schools you attended.
If you don't have job experience yet
That's okay — everyone starts somewhere. You can list volunteer work, school activities, chores you do well, or classes you've taken. Focus on your strengths.
Make it easy to read
- Use a plain font and clear headings.
- Use short bullet points, not long paragraphs.
- Check spelling, or ask someone to check it.
- Save it as a PDF so it looks the same everywhere.
