Get references from teachers, church leaders, places you have worked/volunteered before. Are you any good at sports? Maybe a word from your sports teacher/coach. Include your school report and even a reference from you fav teacher might help. Any activities you do outside school that might help people. Like cleaning your gran's house or doing the lawn or any clubs you are in like scouts, guides or marching girls. Anything that will help you. There are many web sites on writing a CV. (resume) is one for a start. Just copy one and add your own details. Go ask your employment or careers teacher, that's what we used to call him in the 70's at my school. Remember, your resume should include as much of the good things you have done in your life as it can. Identify the job you want and add anything that you have done in your life that is oriented towards that job. Organisational things especially. Good luck, let me know how you go.

Involved with any school orgs? A resume at that age is skimpy and I'd be surprised if they're sticklers about it. Good luck with the job. Have you done any volunteer work?
