Resumes for Teens

Even as a teenager, you might want to go ahead and prepare a resume. Most jobs you will want to apply for as a teen will not require you to have a resume, but you will make a great impression if you have one prepared. In fact, if an employer has two equally qualified applicants and one has a resume and the other does not, the person with the resume will get the job - no question.

Why?

Having a resume as a teenager shows an employer that you are willing to make the effort to do whatever is necessary to succeed. You are already willing to go the extra mile to get what you want. Employers like to see that kind of initiative.

So, if you are a teenager and you want to get a job, create a resume and make a great first impression. You may not have a lot of information on your resume, but even a short resume is better than not having one.

There are a number of things you can put on your resume that you probably aren't aware of, too. Any volunteer position (think: helping out at church) provided you with an opportunity to learn new skills. Think of all the things you can do that might make a difference in a job and list those under a Summary of Qualifications OR a Summary of Work-Related Skills section.

Taking the initiative to create a teen resume will help you now and in the long run. You'll be that much smarter and farther ahead of your counterparts.

Have a great time with your new job, too. It can be a wonderful learning experience.
