Resume for my highschooler!!

[mominbc]

My DS16 wants to get a part time job but it has been years since I wrote a resume. Is there a website that will walk him through the process?:confused:

Thanks:)

Most of the jobs a 16yo would qualify for don't require a resume, just filling out a job application (grocery store, other store, car wash, restaurant, etc) or passing out flyers/knocking on neighbor's doors (lawn mowing, babysitting, assorted chores/handyman work).

Depending on your state laws, he might need to get a work permit either before or after he is hired, though. Our state requires this of workers under 18.

Do you have MS Office? (I have the 2007 version...you'll navigate a little differently with 2003, but basically you want to get to the File/New/Templates section. If you have MS Word 2007, click on the Office button, New, and check the list of templates on the left under "MS Office Online". Click on "Resumes" and you'll see a wide variety of templates you can download to give your son a model and starting place. There is even a high school student example under the "Specific Situation" category. I haven't downloaded it, but I saw it listed when I checked just now!
