I am 16, I live in Ontario, Canada. I have had several online business ventures, have extensive experience in customer satisfaction and solving problems. I have strong computer and communication skills. I don’t have much experience working under someone, just lawn cutting for a company that I can’t get a reference from. All of that is on my resume.

On the rare occasion that I get an interview, I always show up in business clothing such as dress pants, shined leather shoes, dress shirt and tie. It seems the harder I try, the less likely it is for me to get a job.

I would start a full time summer business but I am lacking capital. I don’t have anyone that can lend me money and can’t get a loan.

I just got turned down now for another job that I had an interview for on wednesday. I mind all of my friends around me getting jobs from doing next to nothing. I try so hard but no one will cut me some slack. I can’t even get a job at a damn grocery store for crying out loud.

I reflect it has to be something incorrect with my resume. Can you please critique it and make annotations?
