Summer Job Advice- - 06.20.2010, 02:49 AM

Sooo it's summer, and I don't want to be bored out of my mind like I was last year, and kinda want some money.

My parents.. friends...family.. are all pressuring me to try and get a job with some computer repair business, seeing as I'm quite good with computers. Sure, I don't know binary nor hexadecimal, nor do I have any certifications (Actually gonna try and take an A+ course sometime next year), but still, wanna give computer repair a try this summer.

So basically, I was on Word, trying to brainstorm a resume to send to a couple companies around my area, to see if first, they'll hire a young kid like me (15 years old, birthday is Jan 3. So 16 will be in around 6 more months), then what they're looking for, and lastly how I would perform on the job.

So I was at an end, trying to think of something to say, since I'm still a Sophmore in High School starting August, and haven't really been taking any computer courses.

So now I need help.
What should I put on the "resume", what should I say, and how should I say it all? I'm trying to do it as something to do in my freetime (but you should never say that at a job interview, so I've heard), but I also wanna major in Computer Hardware/Science in college.

I'm mostly a hardware guy (screw coding! ), where I build computers, replace components, repair, diagnose, etc. and don't want a software job.

Any help is appreciated!
