I'm in high school and looking to apply for a part-time job. I want to make sure my application looks professional. Does anyone know of any templates designed for high schoolers?
Sure, it's great to see you're eager to start working. There are several resources out there to help high school students in creating a professional job application or a resume.
One resource you could use is CollegeVine's Resume Template for High School Students. It provides a structured template designed specifically for high school students which helps you highlight your experiences, skills, and accomplishments effectively.
Also, Google Docs offers a variety of pre-made templates that could work, many of which presumably to be aimed towards a younger or more inexperienced audience. You'll find a section dedicated to resumes and job applications, and their simplicity might be advantageous for a high school student.
When using these templates, remember to customize them for each job application you submit, if necessary. For example, if you're applying for a retail job, you might want to emphasize your previous customer service experience or your interpersonal skills.
Double-check your resume for spelling and grammar errors, and have someone else review it if possible. Employers often see these errors as a sign of carelessness. Good luck with your job search!
