What should a job search worksheet for high school students include?

I'm creating a job search plan, and I've heard worksheets can be useful. What key elements or sections should be included in a job search worksheet for high school students? I'm new to this and need some guidance.

Creating a job search worksheet can assist in making your job search more organized and efficient. Here are some critical elements that such a worksheet should include:

1. Objective: Clarify the type of jobs you're looking for. Are they part-time, summer jobs, internships, or specific to a particular field? Stemming from your interests, this can help you narrow down your search.

2. Skills and Qualifications: List your academic, extracurricular, and personal skills and qualifications relevant to the jobs you're seeing. This could include specialties from a part-time job, volunteer experience, leadership roles, technical skills, etc.

3. Job Application Details: For every job you apply to, record the company name, job title, date of application, and contact details of the firm.

4. Job Description: Keep note of the job requirements, responsibilities, and preferred qualifications mentioned in the job description for each application.

5. Follow-Up: Write down dates when you should follow up on your applications if you've not received a response.

6. Interviews: When you start getting calls for interviews, note down the dates, time, location, contact person, and any other necessary details.

7. Preparation and Reflection: Have a section where you can prepare for interviews, jot down any questions you want to ask the employer, and reflect on the interviews you've had, noting what went well and areas for improvement.

8. Job Offers: Finally, keep a record of the job offers you receive, including details like starting date, salary, and benefits to help compare and make the best decision.

Remember, patience and persistent effort are key in the job search process. Good luck!
