resume questions

[eakers]

i need to find a parttime job during the school year and i think my resume needs a lot of work.. so i have a few questions:

how should i format my resume?
education then work history and then under each job put the skills i used and my duties or should i just list the jobs and then under a seperate section put the kinds of skills i have developed and used in the work place giving specific examples?

a lot of my jobs are the same jobs but at different work places.. should i just put the jobs together and list what i did or reword what i did in each place. i don't want to be repetitive but i can't come up with a format for that

i've never had a really real job, just retail, industrial and club promotion work, all part time or temporary so i am pretty sure i shouldn't have a resume over 1 page.

should i include and activities and interests section? do employers even care?

how can i talk about my skills that i have developed outside of the work place in say school?

i have taken resume classes and stuff but i am having a really really hard time keeping this under one page and short and sweet about things and figuring out what is important.

Under each job, instead of just listing skills or duties, you should emphasize actual accomplishments that pertain to each position. Specificity is generally preferred.

it really depends on what you feel are the strongest points of your resume. whatever you feel is your strongest asset (ie. work experience, skills, education) put it at the top. and don't write lengthy paragraphs about job description, skills, or even your accomplishments at a job. make it concise and brief (one liners, or a jotted list), it's the key to good communication in a resume.
