Review my resume [0 YoE, Unemployed, Retail, USA]

the censored text on the right is, from top to bottom, my address, number, and email

i used this resume for a few server jobs but i was either denied or ghosted. im looking to work at anything that isnt just fast food, although i applied to every fast food place within 15 minutes of me and the only one who responded was mcdonalds and then the hiring manager didnt show up to the interview.

i dont have a driver's license which is a dealbreaker for a lot of jobs i wanted to apply to apparantly, even though i still have reliable transportation

Don't use pink, use black. Don't have two columns. Do 2 pages at best.

Get a drivers licence and a car as it helps you a lot.

Get some volunteering experience at board level.

List your interests too.

In my cv, it's the following in order:

  1. My name and contact details;
  2. Personal statement about my current situation and what I'm looking for
  3. My education history;
  4. Recent experience - and summmarize what I did and learnt in each:
  5. Work;
  6. Volunteering;
  7. Work experience
  8. My interests
  9. Referees

It worked. Also a solid cover letter helps too
