I am 18 years old, and I am trying to get my first job. On my job application, what type of skills and interest/hobbies should be included? I don't have any experience, so I don't think I have anything to put for skills...

If you do team sports - team working, leading, communication

If you do any private study - determination, assertion, motivation

If you use a computer - computer literate in word/excel/internet etc

It entirely depends on the job you're trying to get. Link it somewhat into what you're applying for. Communication is a biggie though.

You'd be surprised the kind of work you may find by listing your hobbies, skills and interests. Have you volunteered before? That is important to list on a resume. Employers realize that everyone has to have a first job, so list the above and then ace the interview by being open, willing to work and charming. Include in your resume your willingness to work hard and some employer will respond. Good luck!
