fast food places honestly are NOT impressed by resumes

Answer 2

Most jobs like fast food places know the young adults do not have much (if any) work experience.  Often what plays into your application with be your grades and your attendance record.  Also, if you have any community service experience that will greatly increase your chances. (Community service is helping the elderly, reading to the blind, volunteering at a local hospital or vet clinic.  These type of things).  If you have done any babysitting ( even your kid brother/sister) that shows a level of responsibility, this will also aid your chances.  Understand that you will have to start at the bottom with you age and experience.  Showing that you can stick with something and not get bored or impatient will be a big plus as well.

You will actually be filling out applications (not resumes) at this level, but you will still need to input the same basic information.
