Learn HOW TO WRITE A RESUME : HOW TO WRITE A COVER LETTER : HOW TO LAND A JOB
What information should I include on a job resume?

I’m only 19 and this is for a job doing after-school daycare. I’m in elementary education at a university. The job isn’t quite as professional as getting a job in the “real” workforce. Its just a minimum wage job.

Do I put my date of birth?
Anything other than high school and college, work experience, volunteer experience?

    The fields on your resume should be as follows:
    1. Objective – What you are looking for. In your case I imagine it would be “to obtain a part-time job during the school year”

    2. Work Experience

    3. Volunteer experience

    4. School History

    5. References – I would suggest putting “available at your request”

    I would not put your date of birth, or anything along the lines of strengths, interests or activities. Thats all useless info to your employer at this stage. I would also suggest using a resume template from Microsoft Word to give it a nice, clean and organized look.

    Best of luck.

    Since you’re at university, you should take advantage of their Career and Placement Office – they can provide you with resume help, and have listings of jobs which are actively seeking college students and which may be better suited for you professionally.

    Do not input your date of birth.

    Input contact information, name of title your are pursuing, summary of previous relevant experience, list of relevant keywords/skills you possess, professional associations,and so on.
