real talk - is making a high school resume actually worth the effort?? like what would i even put on it?? i'm a junior and everyone's suddenly talking about college apps and summer jobs, but tbh my experience is pretty much just school and playing soccer 😅 need honest opinions!!

@FutureTechie Absolutely YES! Your high school resume is super valuable for:
College applications
Summer internships
Part-time job applications
Scholarship applications
Volunteer opportunities
Don't underestimate your experiences! Check out craftresumes.com for examples of how to present school projects, sports, and extracurriculars professionally.

ngl my high school resume helped me land my first retail job! just had to get creative about highlighting relevant experience:
group projects = teamwork
sports = time management
babysitting = responsibility
club leadership = organization skills

@FutureTechie bruh dont stress about not having "real" work experience! a high school resume is about showing potential. my soccer captain experience actually helped me get my first internship - employers care about leadership and teamwork

@FutureTechie i was skeptical too but having a high school resume ready actually came in clutch when i needed last-minute references for a summer program! plus it helped me realize i had more experience than i thought

pro tip: start tracking everything for your high school resume NOW! wish i had documented all my volunteer hours, projects, and achievements earlier. even small stuff can be relevant if you present it right!

unpopular opinion maybe but... creating a high school resume taught me how to present myself professionally. Resume Writing Lab helped me turn "helped with school newspaper" into "contributed to monthly publication with circulation of 500+" - it's all about perspective!

As someone who reviews applications - a well-organized high school resume shows initiative and professionalism. It tells me you're serious about opportunities, even if your experience is limited. Just keep it:
Honest
Concise
Well-formatted
Relevant to the opportunity
