Will this resume get me an entry level internship at an insurance agency?
The internship is for a marketing/advertising position. I am a high school junior. I’ve left out of the resume that I am in my 14th year of dance classes and training, should I add that in? Let me know about how the overall resume is! Thanks for your time. =]

The only person who can tell you if you’ll definitely get a job with this resume is the person who sees it and hires you.
Personally, I think your resume is too wordy. Most HR people who have to read a bunch of resumes all the time are looking for *A Stand Out* (in the crowd) type of person. Put it on a quick diet and only put in the best, most pertinent information necessary. Good Luck!
Cheers!
just scanning over it, it looks good. Keep in mind that you need to keep it to one page, after that the employer gets bored and loses interest.
-you may want to take some of the memberships out
-under other skills say "Proficient with Microsoft Office" and leave out "file-sharing software"
Look up resume templates in microsoft word and go from there
It looks good just make sure it all fits on one page. 2 page resumes are not appropriate for people with less than 10 years experience and yours looks a bit long.
