Well start out with your objective. That is, what you are looking to do in the working world. Then list where you are attending school, what grade you are in as well as extracurricular activities. After that, you can list things you do outside of school that proves your skills and responsibilty. At the end, have some references like teachers and maybe your parents or your friend's parents. That's a good order for you, so it's up to you to make it look nice. Good luck! Feel free to email me if you'd like for more help :)

if you have microsoft office open word and use the resume templates. if not that, openoffice.org i think also has templates with their version of Word called Writer i believe. or you can use any text editor. just check for most layouts on the internet and go from there like (1. Title, Address, Contact Info 2. Summary of Skills, 3. Contacts , etc....

I look at a lot of resume for my job and I always prefer people who take the time to make all the words line up, and have the spacing look professional. Also we are not fond of the word template resume, take some time to find somthing else on the internet.

you should put in your involvement in your community. volunteer and stuff like that .at your age people don't expect job experience but if you show how that you are a productive member of society it will help

Take some extra courses. They always help. Babysitting, first aid, leadership training, all available for people our age.

since you dont have any experience youll need a good reference from your LIT instructor so suck up to them =) do good in school and write down how you have good marks ex say you have an A average etc. and put in a LOT of extra curriculars sports hobbies etc cause if you dont have experience theyll want to know how involved you are and also it would be MUCH better for your resume if you could find somewhere to volunteer ESPECIALLY if its related to the job. basically what employers want is some one who has done the job before or has proven they can do it. w/o experience they want to know if your lazy or active basically and for references the more important they are (e.x. some one you volunteer for or your LIT instructor) it will look better from them.
