Hey, so what I usually say about resumé's is that they're not supposed to be longer than one page. A lot of people already know that, but it does help narrow down what to put on it. Put all the relevant information on there first (anything that pertains to being a stylist) and the most recent information, and doctor that up nicely. Personally, I have two of my last jobs listed, my education, and then some of the honors things from college.
Another tip for when you're listing what you do at each job: use strong verbs. Don't start your sentences with "I made" (etc.) because we already know that you're the person doing these things. So for example, the donut thing, list the workplace and then underneath describe it as "decorated" or "designed" gourmet donuts, etc. Obviously I don't know anything about that, but fill it in as you see fit.
One more thing - my boss usually asks if you've worked at a place for at least a year, and if not and it's not relevant, she'd probably say not to include it. You don't have to include every single job on a resume.
Hope this helped! Let me know if you have questions. :)
In the first paragraph, you give some background about yourself and how you relate to the job. For example, when I was applying for a magazine internship, I talked about my background in university and what I was studying (journalism and writing). I mentioned the magazine's values and how I fit nicely with them (valued the same things). You basically talk about how you relate to the job.
In the second paragraph, you want to mention the skills/experience that you have that you could utilize in that job. If you have a specific experience, you could briefly mention a small story as long as you say what you learned/got out of the experience. This is the paragraph where you want to mention all your skills and how you would contribute to their work environment.
The last paragraph should be about why you want to work at that job specifically. Not just why you want to be a stylist, but why you want to work for their salon/company. You talk them up a bit, show that you know about their company and specifically chose to work there, rather than just for any company that would hire you.
In the last part, you wrap it up and then say something like "I look forward to hearing from you." Then beneath that, sign it with "sincerely" and your name.
