I'm looking to improve my job application skills for vocational roles. Are there any printables or resources that can help me practice my application writing or interview skills?
There are indeed plenty of resources to help you improve your job application and interview skills for vocational roles.

1. The Balance Careers has a list of common interview questions and tips for how to answer them.
2. Indeed offers a job interview preparation checklist that you can print and use to guide your preparations.
