Small thing don't know if you care but between Education and skills you have 2 lines of space and the rest only have 1.
Also appearance is a big deal in resumes and I don't know what your format looks like but spend some time on it.

Here is a snapshot of half of mine, the lower half is the rest of my experience and skills and abilities. Of course most of the information was completely changed for privacy reasons. If you would like, I can email you my resume in a template format so you can add your basic shit. Since you are only 16, do NOT worry about a resume so much. Most part time jobs will require you to fill out a job app and do the questionnaires where you strongly agree, agree, disagree, or strongly disagree. Of course having a resume would be good practice since you will need one in the future and it's a smart idea to work on it slowly over time.

Needs a lot of work. Education is supposed to be on the bottom for one.

Start off with an objective. For your skills you shouldn't put things like "visual learner". Instead put actual skills. And instead of "basic knowledge of photoshop", put "Photoshop". They don't need to know the extent of your knowledge unless they ask. Until then, just tell them it's a skill you have.

Take off the numbers, and take out "interests" all together. They don't care. That's something they'll ask you about after you've been hired and you're bangin' the bosses wife.

Here's my current resume that I dumbed down for a company that I just applied to that have an awesome delivery position I want to take up. Notice how I included jobs in my history that pertain to the type of position I'm applying for. I applied for an audio post house that also needs someone to deliver and retrieve audio equip from other post houses, so I included all audio skills I have and my past driving/delivery experience.

It's small print because I had to zoom out to get all of it and it still got cut off. You must login or register to view this content.

That's about 25% of all the jobs I could have listed on it, but having a lot of shit on your resume isn't important. The important thing is that you put what the place you're applying to wants to see.
