How to create a resume?

[AdvancedRobotics]

I need to create a resume as I am looking for jobs for this summer. Looking strongly at an internship position at Fairchild semiconductor (I am only a 30 min. drive from their HQ).

However I am only in high school. No college background may be a frowned upon. So I need to make a quite stong resume.

I need to know a good layout and what to cover. I have previous working experience and as you can see from my signiature, I am a webpage/graphics/and art (pencil/charcoal/pastel sketches) designer. So I want a section in which I can describe my proficiencies.

Thanks all!

I don't have Microsoft Word, I use Open Office. Do you know if Open Office has anything of this sort?

Thank you.
