1. you sound really smart i would hire you if i was old enough to even get a job please pick me as best answer
2. how did you get your resume if your only 15-16
3. Totally uninspiring. You won't get considered for any job, especially considering the state of our economy at the moment. I mean, seriously, you have absolutely zilch work experience, and your "achievements," frankly, seem pretty mediocre to me. And no employer is going to give a damn about whether you like "collecting sunglasses." Is this even a serious resume or what?
4. I'm a business owner and have to say this is a very informative resume. More so, than some that I have received with applications. Its really nice...you seem very eager and ready!!! I like that! Do a spell check and print it on nice paper....gives a lil extra touch! Good Luck!! Ya gotta start somewhere....
5. I'm sorry; I have nothing to contribute. But I had to answer just to say that I do think your achievements are something to be proud of. You've accomplished a lot more than most people. Don't listen to that other person.
