A high school resume is a colloquial term for the resume of a person with high school qualifications at entry level, usually without much work experience or other qualifications. These resumes are intended to act as qualifiers for baseline entry positions, internships, etc. The primary need in high school resumes is for credible information showing skills, motivation and strong positives in the right areas. For employers, these resumes act as quality controls for applicants who are basically at the same level. Students are advised to put a lot of thought and time into good presentation and emphasizing positives.
