The short answer is yes you can write a resume, have it focus more on training or volunteer functions that you have preformed, and maybe check out careerbuilder.com or monster.com the websites can help you write it for a certain job that you may be looking to get. |

You might want to focus on volunteer work instead of actual work. After that, you want to emphasize education. If you're lacking in these areas, then you can rely on the cooking and cleaning, but you will be really facing an uphill battle against other candidates.
The best bet in constructing a resume is reading your resume in the eyes of the interviewer. Does what you include in the resume fulfill some quality that the job position requires? What makes you the best candidate compared to other applicants?
Good luck! |

I am a business professor at Princeton and yes you can write a resume but unfortunately the work section will be empty. If you have ever done volunteer work make sure to list that along with any education.Best of Luck and remember to vote me best answer! |

If you've been paid, you can write a resume.
If you've volunteered, you can add that to a resume.
Think about writing a resume based on "skills"

Hmmm...not a job that would require a resume. Maybe you can do some retail work or find a place that would train you and doesn't have many requirements. I can't imagine one of these jobs paying well though. I could be mistaken, but you sound young - if you don't need a high paying job, a high school diploma should be more than enough to get you your first job. If you're older, I don't know what to say - you should have been working. |

You might as well put that on a piece of paper with your educational credentials and hobbies/interests, but it really depends on the type of job you want. I'm not sure what job you'd look for that would need a resume if you have this little experience. |
