Not necessarily. Most entry-level positions, especially for 16-year-olds, do not require resumes. These roles require no technical experience. Job applicants only need the right attitude to work and the readiness to learn. Successful candidates will receive the training they require to carry out their tasks.
The positions that require resumes are those where candidates require some experience. Such positions are often management positions. Here, you’ll need to have worked somewhere prior to your application. You must have also garnered relevant experience while at your previous job.
