Amber,
A blank piece of paper, or a blank screen, is intimidating. So, try this.
Sit down with a blank piece of paper. Start scribbling down how you can demonstrate that you have the following traits:
1. Dependability
2. Teamwork
3. Safety
4. Leadership
5. Problem Solving
6. Customer Service
7. Money Handling
8. Attention to Detail
And any other skills/traits required/preferred for the type of jobs you will be applying for. Think about teams you have belonged to, fundraisers you worked on, summer jobs, anything. . . . for example, wearing safety gear in sports, learning how to fall, how to hit, etc. , showing up for practice every day, mentoring younger players, activities through your church, etc.
Don't really start putting it all together, just start thinking of how you satisfy these things.
Then, go to the website gotresumebuilder. (It's a dot com, but this site won't let me write it out!) Use it to build your resume. It will give you suggestions along the way. You can add sections or delete sections. So, find a place to list your extra curricular activities, hobbies, etc. It will help you with the heading, it will do the formatting for you. It will let you save it and print it. It's totally free if you have a library card or student ID.
If this will be your first job, you may not even need a resume. A lot of companies have you apply on-line at their website, and just fill in the form. They give you the chance to attach an optional resume. It's nice to have one that you have worked on, because a resume is your creation, and allows you to highlight your skills in a better way than the company website will.
There is no real right or wrong way of doing this. You are just trying to create a short easy to read document that makes you look like you will be a good employee.
Writing and revising a resume is a life-long venture. It's good to get the basics down now. You will get better at it as time goes on!

You can easily discover a variety of templates on the internet. Just make sure to pick one that's compatible with ATS (Application Tracking Software) and user-friendly.
Essential elements to include are your personal information like your name, email, and phone number. Don't forget to mention your abilities, qualifications, work experience, and education.
