That's a great resume - for what type of position is he applying?

I'd hire him
I'd hire him especially because I would know his mom did not do the resume for him.
Great job!

He wants to either work at a pet store, or a vet clinic. He knows that the best thing to do is to start with volunteer stuff. We'll get him a Social Ins. number soon, so he might get a paying job

In the USA you get a SS# when you are born.
Wonder how long before you will do that in Canada.

Sounds like he'd be very good at that type of work. I hope he's successful in lining up some work (volunteer or otherwise) shortly. Here in the States we have people who hire "pet sitters". James would be eminently qualified for such a position.

It's too bad he doesn't live around here. There is an organization called Hemopet, which rescues greyhounds, uses them as blood donors for a year, then socializes them. They love to have kids come and play with the dogs. Maddie will be playing with the dogs for community service during her Winter Break.

Are you one of the old people, Saucy?

If I were a signer-upper of volunteers, I would be enchanted that James submitted a resume!

I was going to say define "old people".
Great resume. He should have no trouble getting a position, volunteer or otherwise. Good luck!

Oh, this is so sweet and honest. I wish we could all make resumes like this, without all the fluff BS.
