>should I make a resume with what skills I possess and a cover letter?

I guess, but if you have no skills, seems pointless. You can always bullshit something and use that to get your foot through the door though. If you are good in the interview and have good hours of availability, then you're in a good spot

My first two interviews were for companies I never sent resumes to. I just listed my availability. Either way, it's good to have a resume just in case it's requested

>ten dollars
I'd say 30 mins max. Commute time (with traffic) + gas for 10 dollars/hr is not worth. But then again, you can't be picky for your job if they are the only place that showed interest in you. Best to take it anyways to get exp.

just bullshit things, man.

"I don't have any experience" big fucking deal? Did you ever play sports or join a club of some kind? That's called teamwork and responsibility. You always came to practice on time and supported your teammates. You take charge and take the lead in group projects at school. etc.

That shit counts for stuff when you are applying to shit jobs to start off with.

CV is the same thing, yes.

Oh and for references, try to keep it to people who are not in your family. Have a teacher or friend do it (just make sure the friend knows how to bullshit correctly in case they call).

As for the travel time, that's up to you. Are you driving to the job or riding a bike or what? If driving, you need to factor in gas prices and wear/tear on your vehicle. Generally, for a starter job, I think that 10 to 20 minutes is acceptable if driving outside of large cities.

Also format your resume clearly. You can be creative if you have talent but make sure it is easy to read. Colors are your friend but keep color changes to a minimum.

There are sample resumes online. Find a skill-based one. That's where, in the place usually used for experience, you list your skills. These include potentially professional things, like programming or photography, but also picked-up-on-the-way things.

Meanwhile, you don't have to have been paid for something for it to be experience. As someone noted, being an officer in a club equals executive experience, leading a discussion or group project in school equals training or management, etc.
