Hi Christy,
I'm not 100% clear on your question, so I've based my response on creating you first resume/ CV.
Regardless of whether you're a seasoned professional with over two decades of experience or a fresh graduate, having a clear, succinct, and impactful CV is crucial. Given that you've recently left school, a one-page CV would be ideal, but remember, it needs to be distinctive!
In the current job market, there are numerous valuable educational resources and templates that you can utilize. For instance, I discovered an outstanding CV template on Etsy, which I bought and simply filled in the gaps. Typically, the first page serves as an introduction or cover letter, presenting who you are and why you believe you're the perfect fit for the role. The second page is your actual CV, highlighting your relevant experience and skills for the position.
Bear in mind, skills are transferable! So while you can add your current volunteering experience, its great to also check out your dream job on LinkedIn, identify the necessary skills and then consider how you can acquire these skills through a more accessible role, such as Customer Service, which can be gained through working at a fast-food restaurant or supermarket. You can also tailor your CV to emphasize Transferable Skills over specific job titles, making you a more attractive candidate for a wider range of roles, rather than being restricted to jobs based on your previous titles.
I hope this advice is beneficial. And remember, your career is a journey, not a destination. You may start in one area and end up in another - there are not short cuts in life. That's completely fine. Embrace the journey!

Not sure why you would reference a web site on a resume unless it’s your own, in which case you probably don’t need to. I’m not sure how else you’d use a web site for your resume that would require a citation but you probably don’t need to worry.
Explain further how you used a website if still aren’t sure

You may have been asked to make a resume for a high school or college class. Did you use any books or websites that taught you how to create a website? Did you talk to professionals in the field you are applying to? Did you watch any videos? If so you will most likely use APA Style to cite these sources. Here is a website to help you cite your sources:

If you are not writing a resume for an assignment then you do not cite any sources you used. You just need an objective, employment history and education history.
