How to make a resume in my condition?

I need to make a resume because a lot of jobs at the mall require a resume. I already filled out applications but even at JCPenney, a store associate recommended me to meet and greet a hiring manager and hand them a resume (even though I already filled out an online application) and because I haven't had any luck in getting hired, in these last several months, I am going to try to do this at all stores I've applied to. My questions are now, how can I make a resume without adding any job/volunteer experience? And how would I list my education? In what order do I list the name of the school,grad year,minor/major and location of the school? My highest education level would be high school but I went to two different colleges for less than a year (I didn't complete the year). Do I still list the two colleges first? What do I replace with the 'experience' section? I am using Microsoft Office Word resume template but it's not really helping me. Please help.I do not have much contact with any of my high school or college teachers because they are all in the Philippines while I am now in California. I barely have references either because I there are not many people I know or are close enough with outside of my family. I don't have friends in California although I was born and raised here. I never did any volunteer work. I am 19 years old and came back to California on April 2009. I do not have a car nor do I have a driver's license. I am not currently in school but will be starting online classes for college this July.

1. These are all valid concerns and questions. Invest in a professional resume writing service they are experts at tailoring resumes around your experience (or lack of experience) as well as properly formatting a resume to be competitive in the job market. I can promise you every successful professional lacked experience at some point in their life use whatever experience you do have to get your foot in the door.
2. There are actually sites online that will make the resume for you, just google it. And unless that jcpenneys was different than the one i work at, the associate was either old fashioned or full of crap. JCP is mostly done with apps, and ive seen lots of people bring in resumes, and ive never seen a single one of them get the job...the managers just seemed annoyed because theyre busy helping customers and have to go talk to an applicant, they much prefer you to do it online because even the app has like a series of questions to analyze ur personality and morals much more effectively than quickly meeting them... and idk where you live but i found very few stores in the mall that would take a resume, very few even had hard copies of the applications, its all online now...
