    For recent one and a half year I was doing various tasks for Non-profit "organization." I set up small network and did some maintenance, minor software/hardare problem solving. Mostly though I was making graphics. Few banners (not digital), one full page color ad in newspaper (I was told 15,000 copy newspaper), few newsletters, and some other minor graphic projects.

    However now I've moved and although I will be still doing some work for them, we were planning to make some papers so I would have papers to show for my future jobs or something. I'm 17 and I don't know nothing about paperwork (not even school's :worried: ) so I ask you to help me.

    I would really apreciate if you could direct/exlplain or talk about job forms, specific job titles that could be used for what I did and etc. I don't know how it all works.

    MS Word has quite a good template with the headings and layout needed for a CV. It'll also be an idea to get a reference from a previous employer, even if you just volenteered. Employers like people who volenteer a lot, it means they are hard working.

    Make sure it's no longer than 2 pages otherwise no ones going to be bothered to read it all. Just briefly list each job role you have had, obviously only the most important ones if you've had loads, starting from past to present, and a few bullet points under each one saying the various tasks you carried out/skills you had to use. List any courses/qualifications etc you picked up along the way and it's a good idea, under 'references', to just put 'available on request' until they ask for them.
