Hi Yummy...You can put 'babysitting' and 'painting fences' and the other odd jobs you have performed. The prospective employer is not looking for you to do brain surgery at the age of 14. He will expect the type of experience you have.

To answer the second question: Your objective is what you are looking to do with regard to jobs you are looking for and the direction of your future. Three things should be included in your objective..

1) Job type

2) Industry

3) Geography

Here's an example for you...

1) Summer Pool Assistant at municipal pools facilities in the Orange Grove School District

2) Seasonal Lifeguard Assistant in Hollywood Hills School District, passed CPR skills in 9th grade

Remember this is just an example of HOW you should formulate your objective. Do not include any skills you do not have nor indicate you want to work in areas that may be hazardous for you due to your lack of experience. In any event, show your resume to your parents when finished for their approval.

Also this can be an exciting time in your life; starting a career in the workforce. It is best to do it right. Above is a link to Job Search Minute by Brian Kreuger of College Grad.com. He has 67 videos of 1:00 or less that will tell you how to dress, help you compose your resume, prepare questions to ask at the interview and even tell you what to do once the interview is over. His videos will answer a lot of questions for you...

For your references you can ask a family member, a friend and someone like a teacher or pastor. Have them write your reference on a separate sheet of paper as opposed to including their contact information on your resume. Your references should address three specific questions about you... how they know you, what they think of you personally and professionally and why you are the best person for the job.

The structure of your resume can look like this..

Objective Statement

An objective statement� is a sentence at the top of your resume, which summarizes why you feel you are the ideal candidate for that position.

The general pitfall of an objective statement on an entry-level resume is either making it too specific or too vague.

The well-written objective will tell the employer immediately the kind of job for which you are looking and why they should hire you.

Power-Words

The use of power-words is a great technique to draw attention to the parts of your entry-level resume you want to stand out most. They are noun modifiers that catch the eye of the resume screener, giving your resume an edge.

While it is best to use power-words in your objective statement and the beginning of sentences, you can make every task and responsibility sound proactive and valuable on your entry-level resume. Just be careful to use the correct words in its appropriate context!

Presentation

Presentation is very important in your entry-level resume. Make sure that:

* it has a simple and easy-to read-structure

* it is balanced and uncrowded, with as much space between blocks of text as possible

* it includes all the necessary information (such as extracurricular activities, education and previous employment skills)

* the blocks of text are no longer than six lines

* you use bullet points when describing your past job responsibilities (a great place to include power-words!)

* it is grammatically correct

Make sure that your entry-level resume is uniform with the use of bullet points, boldface, italics and underlining. Stay focused! Keep in mind the job you are applying for and dont crowd the page with unnecessary details; choose your words wisely“shorter is usually better.

If you know the job and company that you are applying for, it is much easier to create an entry-level resume that will be most appealing to your potential employer. Use these tips to create a comprehensive, easy-to-read and proactive sounding advertisement of yourself.
