Hi my name is Darryl Saunders and I am 16 years old.

I love cars and am looking to get some part-time work geared around cars or motorcycles.

I live near Erin Mills and Dundas

drift_n_shift

here's my suggestion. make an email like darryl.saunders@hotmail.com ; its more professional that way instead of nascarmanic@....

oh, and spell/grammer check your resume and dont include stuff like i gathered pucks it doesnt make the task look good or whatever

not being a dick, but employers like it when they see stuff like this.

SuprAdam

That is a horrible resume.

This must be a joke, if not, then you should return to grade six.

i don't believe your 80% average.....that has to be the worst resume i have seen .............a student who gets 80% should have a better resume. For now ...go to McD's

Realistically, you have no apparent skills to speak of as far as cars and bikes go.

Interest is a plus, but interest without industry-related accomplishments puts you at square one. The smaller shops probably won't be able to offer you anything, but you may have a chance at one of the bigger new car dealerships as a car washer, lot jockey and general gopher guy. From there you might be able to work up over time.

But gopher guys are a dime a dozen. Be prepared to put in a lot of applications.

Queen and Spadina in the city. I think the current squeegee kid there is taking the season off.

in regards to skills should i include knowledge of tools? is that really a skill?

How bout the work I have done in auto shop at school, Ive worked on the tire machine, removed everything from radiator to alternator, catalytic converter, torn down an entire engine, hooked up a car to b e towed, balanced wheels. I completely forgot about auto shop it didn't make it into my resume.

obviously. gear your resume towards the job. if you apply for a cashier job, no need to put all that. if you are looking for a automotive type job, yes, put that in and be somewhat descriptive. to be honest, at 16 you arnt gonna get a job with cars, liek a mechanic. if you want to go into something with cars, apply to like canadian tire, but more importantly, although it wont pay, be an apprentice at a shop.
