How to Create Your High School Resume
- 1). Type your name at the top of your résumé. Under your name, type your contact information, including your address, phone number and email. Make sure your email address is appropriate. If it has unprofessional words, such as sweetie or princess, create a new account. Your name and contact information are the heading for your résumé.
- 2). Create an objective for your résumé. This section will explain the purpose for your résumé, such as "To be considered for the Susan B. Smith Scholarship" or "To obtain a part-time position in the retail industry."
- 3). Add a section for your academic history and achievements. Include the name of the high school you currently attend, the location, your projected graduation month and year, your grade point average and your course of study, such as College Prep or Advanced Placement. Only include your grade point average if it's above a 3.0. You can also add any special academic honors you've received in this section, such as receiving an award or winning an essay contest.
- 4). List the professional positions you've held in an experience section. This should include part-time jobs, internships, volunteer positions and projects you lead. Include the name of the affiliated company, organization or institution, your title, the location, the associated dates and three to five bullet points that explain the responsibilities and job duties you had for each position.
- 5). Add a section for extracurricular activities if you have at least three to list. This can include sports you participate in, clubs you're active in, offices you've held and places you frequently volunteer. Include the affiliated institution or organization for each item, as well as the dates you were involved.
