Landing your first job as a high schooler isn’t always easy – but with the right approach, you can stand out!  Nail your job application: ✨ Keep your CV clean and simple – highlight your education and extracurricular activities ✨ Follow instructions – if the job ad asks for a cover letter, make sure you include one (templates online can help get you started) ✨ Record a professional voicemail – employers will notice; first impressions count ✨ Make sure your email address is professional; if not, create a new one. Employers do not want to email “billybonkers” or “sassychick02” ✨ Audit your socials – employers often check them, so set accounts to private or ensure your posts reflect you positively
