Hi, I am 15 years old and in my first year in secondary school. This summer, I am planning on going to work to make some money. I have already picked up a job application and filled everything out except the back where it says employment history. The problem is, I've never been to work. The only thing I ever did was community service because it was required. What can I possibly put on my resume.Please help, thank you.

"If you truly have no work experience don’t try to flub, instead list your volunteer work or community activities. If you’ve done work experience through a course at school make note of it here. If you’ve had odd jobs, or done things like baby sit or yard work for neighbors list it here and if at all possible get letters of reference. Next list course work at school that you feel is relevant to the job. Make note of any academic achievements or awards. Explain how you think your excellent performance in these areas would benefit the employer or enhance your ability to do the job. If you can, get a letter of reference from a teacher of one of the courses you mention. List your extracurricular activities of a non-volunteer nature such as sports, church or youth groups, school committees, etc. If you have a position of authority in any of these groups make note of it and describe your duties as if they were a job. Finally, sell yourself by making a list of your skills, special talents, or positive personality traits."
