<prompt> Human: Hey guys and girls, as the title says im a 16 year old high school student with a few questions to ask. First though i should explain a few of the struggles here. Since im living in a small town in the outskirts of a giant gambling city there are not very many job opportunities for minors due to the excessive amounts of bars and casinos. Where there are jobs available i dont know where to start. Questions: What would go on my resume if i need one, i am a bit above average in grades, but i do not participate in any extra curricular activities to put on a resume. I have a few friends willing to put a word in for me, but, i dont know where to start to get an interview, i dont just want to hand in an application that wont get looked at. How would i go about contacting the manager to meet them before i turn in an interview to make a good first impression?Thank you all in advance  <response>: As far as resumes go, they are unnecessary for a first job as you have nothing to put on it and most starting jobs dont care for them.When it comes to applying for jobs, I find it best to go to the place of interest and ask to speak with the person in charge of hiring. If you end up just getting an application, fill it out, they wont usually throw the application away if theyre hiring. It would be optimal to apply for a few jobs as well.Good luck!
