Are there job application worksheets available for high school students?

I'm trying to prepare for my first job application and wondered if there are any worksheets out there specifically for high school students that can help me get organized?

There're definitely resources out there designed to help high school students like yourself get organized and prepared for their first job application. Many schools, for instance, provide resources such as job application worksheets or resume building workshops, so it wouldn't hurt to check in with your school counselor to see if they can direct you to relevant resources.

Using a job application worksheet can be highly beneficial. This tool can help you gather all the essential details you'll need for your application in one place, such as your contact information, educational background, any extracurricular activities or volunteer work you've participated in, and a list of any relevant skills you have. It might also be helpful to start keeping track of personal and professional references as many employers ask for these on applications.

While firsthand experiences like internships or part-time jobs are certainly great to list, don't forget other activities that demonstrate qualities like leadership, responsibility, and teamwork. If you've held a position in a club, participated in sports, or even organized a major event, you can include these experiences as well.

Remember that your first resume doesn’t have to be long, but it should be clear, concise, and showcase your important skills and experiences. Include any academic achievements, particularly if they're relevant to the job you're applying for.

Lastly, it might be beneficial to practice common interview questions and learn how to dress professionally for an interview. Every bit of preparation helps and can make you feel more confident when you’re ready to submit those applications. Best of luck!
