Resume builder
Most people applying for a first job have never written a resume and don't have any work experience to put on one. Neither is a problem. Fill this in, watch it build itself, and save it as a PDF.
You
Don't put your street address on a resume. City and state is enough, and it's what employers expect.
A line about you
School
Jobs
No jobs yet? That's completely normal and not a problem. Nobody expects a first-time applicant to have any. Fill in the next section instead.
Everything else you've done
Babysitting, mowing lawns, sports teams, band, volunteering, church, a club, helping at a family business. All of it counts, and it shows up on time and works with people, which is what they're actually hiring for.

What to do with it
Print two copies and take them when you hand in an application. Most people applying for these jobs bring nothing, so bringing a resume is the whole difference, even a short one.
