High School Student Resume

High school students often look for entry level jobs in the specialization field that they intend to pursue during their graduation. These jobs give them vital on-field experience and also act as a source of income, which can aid their college expenses in the future. It is essential that the hiring manager of the organization knows about your special skills and ability to work in a team-based environment. Mention your extracurricular activities in your resume along with any specific achievements. Although past job experience is not expected from students, if you have worked previously, do mention it on the resume along with specific job functions that you might have carried out. Check out the following sample high school student resume in order to get a better idea on how to draft your own resume.
