CV Help for First [part time] Job?
I'm making my first CV and I need a lot of help since I never had the opportunity in school. I have had no previous jobs and all the sample CVs I have seen include like 5 jobs.
So far I have got:
My name with contact info
A few sentances summarising myself .... "I am reliable blah blah blah"
Key skills (a few skills (eg, communication) and how I gained them)
Name of high school and date attended
GCSE results
information about my 2 week work experience i did as a school project.
Hobbies and interests.
My address
What am I missing? Is this a good order? any useless stuff? Anything i should add?
Also, I have no copies of my GCSE results, if I am applying for a part time job in shops like mcdonalds or stores will they ask to see the copies?
It says in a lot of places to add things like "I want this job because" and stuff like that but I am planning on printing a load of them and taking them to a shopping center and handing them out...What do I do?

DON'T IN WRITTING CURRICULUM VITAE(CV)
Don’t be cute of fancy in choosing your layout and presentation.Some applicants tend to make their CV fanciful by using nice and unclear-to-read characters,as well as underlying,shading and other fancy characters.This reduces the professional nature of your CV.Remember;you don’t need fancy to make your CV stand out but simplicity and professionalism.
2.Don’t use passive words,use active words that demonstrate your achievement not just in the past but most especially in the future(e.g)in describing your skills or job description,use active word;estimated,evaluated,etc.
3.Don’t exaggerate:Don’t say or write some information beyond official limit.
4.Don’t add frivolous information-Marriage,Family or unnecessary information etc.
5.Don’t overlook non-work experience:experiences outside formally-employed jobs.
6.Don’t write curriculm vitae as a tittle on your CV.Some applicants are found of writing curriculum vitae,bodly in the top centre of their CV.This is not advisable because the document itself is a curriculum vitae
