First Job Applications (Teen)

Why This Matters

The first application round teaches more employability than the job itself.

The Round

Simple one-page resume built

References asked properly

Availability honest (sports, exams)

Interview basics rehearsed once

Work permit rules checked

Gotchas & Consequences

Overpromising availability gets the job and loses it by month two.

Ghosting an interview burns a small-town reference network fast.
