You could change the section to Skills and Experience and list your soft skills that you have developed and are currently using in school. Things like organization, active listening, teamwork, time management, critical thinking, adaptability, positive attitude, quick learner.

Hi Tedrick!

Great news! Many fast food places understand they're often the first job for young people. Instead of worrying about work experience, highlight your skills. Mention any special school projects or awards you've earned. Besides your resume, try to meet the hiring manager at Wendy's for a chat. Meeting face-to-face can build a strong connection and lets you explain why this job is important to you. Be confident—you've got this!

I don't think anyone is expecting a 15 year old to have an extensive work history!! Instead, focus on some of your school achievements/experience, extracurriculars, or even skills that would make sense for someone your age. If you are good at communicating, following instructions and learning new processes, list that! If you have been a team captain of your soccer team (or anything else - you get the idea), list it! But definitely don't worry about not having work history at your age. Good luck!
