Student-friendly part-time jobs in Atlanta?

I'm currently a student in Atlanta, and I'm trying to balance school with work. Are there particular types of part-time jobs that are good for high schoolers like me? Any tips on where to apply or what to include in my resume?

Atlanta is a city with many job opportunities for high school students. Here are a few types of part-time jobs you might look into:

1. Food/Retail Service Jobs: These types of jobs are often flexible and willing to work around your school hours. Plus, they often require no prior experience. Target, Starbucks, Publix, and Fast-Food Chains are known for being great places for high school students to work.

2. Tutoring: If you excel in a particular subject, tutoring can be a great way to earn money. Look out for tutoring centers or online platforms hiring part-time tutors.

3. Office assistant jobs: Check with local businesses, particularly small businesses, to see if they need part-time office assistance.

4. Library assistant position: Your local library often needs part-time help, which is especially good if you prefer a quieter working environment.

As for your resume, here's what you should include.

- Personal Information: Include your full name, address, phone number, and professional email address.

- Objective: Write a clear and concise objective stating what kind of job you're looking for.

- Education: Your school name, your graduation year, and your GPA (if it's strong).

- Experience: Include any experience you have, like babysitting, lawn mowing, volunteering, leadership roles in clubs at school, and any informal jobs you might have had.

- Skills: List skills that are relevant to the job like communication skills, punctuality, and teamwork.

Remember, everyone starts somewhere and some job applications may require a bit of patience. Good luck in your job search!
