I have only had one job in the past as a cashier but, I was friends with the manager so I didn’t really need to apply I was basically given the job. Recently I have just finished school and have a little time to work but, I’m not familiar with resumes I basically searched through Google and made my resume from looking at examples how does this look-

Not bad. Not sure what an account generator is. but my guess it has to do with dealing with the public.
The first item under skills isn’t a skill it is experience. Most employers don’t expect a person such as yourself to have great accomplishments and skills just out of school.
Any notable accomplishments in school? grades, honors, sports, leadership roles?
The theory is that a good cover letter gets the reader to review the resume and a good resume gets the candidate an interview and a good interview gets the candidate a job offer.
So a short cover letter addressed to the hiring manager or to whom it may concern should tie your skills and career goals to the specific job that is being offered. e.g. I think the Account Generation Position is a great match for my skills since it requires a person who enjoys dealing with the public. I have enjoyed dealing with customers and am anxious to pursue positions that are customer focused.
Add a few more sentences about wanting to learn new things etc – send it with your resume and then be very enthusiastic and upbeat on your interview.
Good Luck

About as good as I would expect. Tailor the ‘SEEKING:’ to the particular job, of coures, that you’re applying for. If it IS Account Generator, then that’s fine.
