While most teen job applications do not require a resume, it is better to include a resume with your job application. It will give prospective employers a detailed insight into your skills.
One might wonder; I have no experience, my high school diploma is incomplete, so what do I write in my resume?
The answer is ‘skills.’ As a high school student, your resume must contain your transferable skills. If you have any volunteer work experience, you must add it to your resume.
Building a high school resume will also help you in self-discovery. You will be able to identify and establish your strengths which will later help you in making a career choice.
