That has nothing to do with you finding a job or not. That is not an issue since employers cannot discriminate against that from a legal standpoint.

Frankly speaking, if you wish to work long-distance, why even reveal this information?

My response here is not to make anyone feel or look stupid, so i appologize if I do.

That is not a resume at all. The basics of that "resume" is the makings of Application information. Try Resume-Help.ORG, it is a good place to start getting information on what should and shouldn't be in a resume.

If you don't mind me criticizing your post... If you are looking for a job, either by application or resume, long or short distance, make sure to keep the following in mind:

  1. Keep things organized - Make sure your information is very easy to ready and easy to find the information the employer is looking for.
  2. Check for major and minor grammatical errors - To be honest with you, an employer doesn't care how well you know computers if you do not sound intelligent enough. I've lost many possible job opportunities because of very minor spelling and grammatical errors.
  3. At no point should a resume give the times you wish to work. That will be discussed with the employer in an interview or at the time of filling out the application.
  4. Please note that experience in the world can not be "self taught". The term experience is what you have done in the work feild. For example: Have you taken part in major server upgrades for a company (large or small company). Have you been paid for those jobs?.

    If you were not paid for those jobs, then put it down as volunteer work. A company will look at your application more if they notice you have volunteered.
  5. When you add your job history, make sure to not only put in where it is you worked, but also the position you held and what your responsibilities were with that company.

This is only basic help on what you need to keep in mind. Please go through sites such as the one above to get help on a resume (16 or not, it's good to have one at hand). It is also a good idea to get your resume proof read by many different people (since you are still in high school, it would be a good idea to get a teachers help with both asking for help, and proof reading).

This is only my $0.02.
 
Outstanding post, onederlnd. Amy, this information will certainly help you get a more professional representation for yourself and will attract more companies' to your skills and abilities. :thumbup:
 
Amy, I have to agree completely.

Keep in mind that System & Server Administrators get paid good money. We pay our tier 2 techs more than what you're asking for, and your position would be higher.

When an employer looks to hire someone for a position like that, they want to know that they're hiring a responsible person, who is willing to do the work.

This is where the problem came for me. When I had found your thread, my intent was to provide you with the job you were looking for. However, you seemed very unwilling to cooperate, or even put in the time to write an effective or even appropriate resume, and this alone turned me away.

When a potential employer sees this, they can only assume that if hired, you would also be unwilling to cooperate, or put time and effort into your job.

In my opinion, you should really take onederlnd's advice, it will help you more than you know.
 
To add to what onederlnd advised, I suggest that you list the formal education that you have completed as well. If you have taken any computer science courses in your high school, these may be beneficial for you to add as well to emphasize your interest and experience in the information technology field. Anything else that shows that you are a responsible and caring person would be great as well. List any non-technical volunteer work also that shows that you are not only interested in a job for money, but for more experience as well as because you enjoy it.
