What should I put under "previous employment" on a job app?

Hi, I'm applying for a job at a theater. I'm 18, but I've never had a "real" job before so I don't know what to put under previous employment. I've volunteered a couple places. Should I put those down? My mom suggests I write down that last summer I went to stay with my aunt & help her out. The form says to account for anytime you were unemployed by listing the "nature of your activities."

Also, what should I put for position applying for? Team member? The form doesn't list what positions are available.

Thanks so much :)

List the nature of your activities while you were unemployed which included volunteer work, assisting your aunt in whatever activities that was.

Positions at a theater (I am assuming movie theater) are: retail associate, floor staff, supervisor, manager, customer service representative. I think your best wording is "customer service representative because it's great umbrella term that covers both the first two options (which you'll be swapping between in the theater anyway)
