The Never Perfect Resume

I started working, volunteering, and joining clubs all around the age of 16. My first job was at Hollister Co., a clothing store that is always in need of workers and hired me on the spot. After working there on and off for some years, I knew I didn't want to take the MIT (Manager In Training) position they offered. I wanted to focus on an "office job" that applied more to my career.
I had to create my very first resume. Though I knew of the RCC and how they aided students in creating a resume, I was on a short time limit to apply for the job I'm at as of now. Thankfully, my mother has aided many people with creating their resumes. She told me to use what I'd learned from high school to create a rough draft, so I did. I recall her snickering at the lack of content. I only thought Hollister Co., my only employer, was the only thing necessary outside of my name, address, and contact info. She was the one to inform me that my other activities, achievements, and skills was something that interested employers as well. Had it not have been for her, my boss at Safeguard may not have been so impressed with a simple sales rep wanting to work for his expanding company.
