    He's flirting with you and taking your posts in this thread a come ons. It's really quite sick how graphic he is being.

      HC, in your situation (in HS, applying to one specific place), it's hard to see any reasonable excuse to go over one page. Tailor your resume to the specific position/employer.

      The nice thing about Word is that, IRL, almost everyone accepts it, even in online applications. And it can be easily modified in the future. It may not be optimal, but this is not a graphic arts project. It's about organization and conciseness of your information.

      Since they are recruiting from your school, be sure you have some teacher recommendations available when they ask for references.

      Good luck.

        This really does not surprise me, given the nature of his PMs.

          Kinda off topic but as far as job listings on Craigslist, how many of them are scams/spam? Once in a while, I check them out and sometimes I'm tempted to reply but it doesn't seem like a good idea to send in a resume with personal information.

            Alright I've just applied to the job. I brought the resume down to a page. Keep in mind guys that I've done an unusually large number of things for a high school student. Also note that 6 out of 7 of my classes this year are at the college level. I checked it over with my dad and he thought it was good, so now fingers crossed

            Thanks for all the advice, it was very helpful

                Sounds good-- I saw this thread late but at your age a page should be sufficient. Mine generally is at two pages now but I frankly haven't looked at it since 2006 when I created one in a hurry for my current job. I find that since I have had 5 significant jobs (plus two secondments which are like separate jobs themselves) which are all relevant, it gets really tough to keep things to a page without eliminating important stuff

                  Maybe you should be asking her how much she pulls in.

                  She could be. Success is a funny measure. Some people (like asher), measure their lives by the number of digits on their paycheque. I measure success differently. I prefer having the time to do other things that I enjoy.

                    If "owning your own business" is the barometer, I've got a sole proprietorship (on top of my day job) and my SO is incorporated...

                        However I don't think that you will necessarily find that "owning your own business" leads to more leisure time for many people. Many small business owners work like slaves.

                        I agree that people might have different criteria for success but I don't know that "owning your own business" necessarily would rank high on any of them

                            The Commonwealth countries also do. It's British English.
