Have you tried asking any family friends. That's how everyone I know did their assignment.

Google. Can you tell me what you exactly need to do in this assignment?
You need to write a report on a small business about how they market, profit/loss, customer base etc, then you have to write about ways the business can improve and stuff.

+financial records, records of interviews, phone calls, pictures. Google would not suffice.

I meant Google to find the businesses you might want to interview. Then go directly to them.

What do you do if you don't know anyone that owns a business? :/
Do you know anyone who works for a small firm, that could give you a general idea. Something like accounting, graphic design etc.

Or just look for a local business, call them, and ask if it's possible to schedule an interview.

It doesn't really matter which business you pick. Just take a stab in the phonebook and call a number.

Lol I think it is a common assignment

Annoying thing is my teacher says you cannot do it at Places you work because it is a unfair advantage :(

I'll probably harass some local businesses at the shops :p

I would love if you could tell me the how you had the layout

You can give it to me because the teacher is contacting each business to ensure we don't bullshit it

I thought I may have had my old one lying around somewhere, but it must have been one of the files I lost when my computer crashed a few years ago.

I wanna look for a job this year just for a bit of extra pocket money, but I have nothing to put on a resume. I'm not involved in any extra-curricular activities in school, I have no prior work experience, my grades aren't exceptional and I have done no volunteer work. Basically, I have a blank, non-existant resume :/
*sigh* I wish I had an awesome resume.

I plan on joining my school's environmental committee, debating team and amnesty international group very soon.
I don't know where to do volunteer work. I would be more than happy to do volunteer work though.

Any of the major charities would probably let you. Salvation Army would be a start. Or some businesses may let you do some basic office work for them.
