First Job: My Resume

[Kasakato]

Basically, I'm a grade 11 student somewhere in Toronto. Up til last summer Iv been working at a family-owned business where I would manage one (small) division/product. The actual job was mobile food service at traveling carnivals. I would do the actual work (make the product for customers), as well as manage stock, sales, and advertising. While my "division" only did $1-2,000 in sales per day, it was an interesting experience.
Beyond that I decided to open up a little eBay business selling various products. This has been very successful, generating 100% disposable income. I intern took this cash and got interested in photography, and mountain biking- two ridiculously expensive hobbies.
That leaves me here today, with a bit of money, but zero "real world" work experience. Not wanting this to be a problem later on in the future, Iv been thinking about obtaining some type of job to put on my resume. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Iv uploaded a censored copy of my resume here:

Feel free to tweak it! It was originally completed for a school assignment and it has received too much attention.

I really don't think you're giving yourself enough credit. You have plenty of real world work experience and applicable skills. IMO you've shown more initiative and that you're capable of more responsibility than some people five years older than you.

When you go to get your first 'real' job, employers at this stage are typically more interested in character traits and patterns of behaviour than specific skills. Most expect to have to train someone on whatever it is they need them to do.

My advice would be to highlight those two work experiences, and quantify them as best you can.

ie. Started an Ebay business that now generates $xxxxx in sales per month.

You definitely have solid experience, and more importantly a work ethic that lots of employers would be interested in.

Yes, entrepreneurship skills are very valuable (time management, dedication, marketing, accounting, social skills) etc.
