I am getting my first job and I am 16. I was told, by the manager, if I just put in a resume the job is mine. But I’m not sure how to or what I need. I have looked at several samples of resumes and I know the format I just need tips! Please help! Also what should a girl wear to her first interview?

As an applicant who possesses no previous experience writing down an entry level resume can prove to be difficult. When you start writing your resume, first take note of your entry level resume objective. Are you applying for a job that needs experience or do they accept applicants without experience. Do you see yourself as qualified for the job, if so, then make that specific position your objective and lay out your resume with that objective in mind.
Your entry level resume should be function oriented, by this I mean that you should concentrate more on showing your capabilities, skills and specific abilities. You cannot yet boast about accomplishments so try to balance that out with other aspects. Like your ability to adapt, you capability to work as in a team environment, and other traits that you think will be of benefit to the company if they hire you.
Place your educational background, certificates, academic achievement somewhere on the top of your resume. Followed by your skills and knowledge, like the program languages you know how to use or specific mechanical skills you know. You can also include anything that you learned outside of school, like knowing how to speak other languages, or self taught technical skills. It is important that your format your resume so that these thing will easily be noticed.
