As an employer, I interviewed a lot of people... and many teenagers. I don't want to say that, but teenagers usually don't know how to interview and find a job! They blew!
This article will address the three mistakes most teens make so that you or your child can learn how to get the job you like.

I would say that about one in eight children will give up a resume due to a spelling mistake. This is the fastest way to throw your resume into the trash!
In addition, most resumes look like someone just spits a bunch of information into a template and clicks Print. This information is rarely organized and often not formatted. The result was a seemingly chaotic resume, misspelled, and even had an opportunity to interview before that.
This is a few key points for a good resume:
- Triple check spelling!
- Do not add a target. Instead, write some sentences to explain why you are different and how you can help the company.
- List the work you already have... and how you influence the company, not just the job. I don't care if you are a pizza deliveryman. What different things have you done to help the company?
- List your education because it doesn't matter.
- Include your resume on a piece of paper - front only. Most people don't want to read a lot, and multiple pages only make things difficult.
2. Follow-up
Ok, let's say you submitted a great resume... this is the least worrying thing for you right now. Many companies will not call you back.
I don't call anyone. why? Because I want to know if they will take the initiative and call me. I want to know if they are a cadre and willing to stick to it.
Most people never call back!
Callback is very simple. All you have to do is ask if they have received your resume. When they say yes, simply say "Great! I am happy to take the time to interview."
Maybe they will actively look for employees so they can conduct an interview. Maybe what they want is because they want some people to be ready to call them and need someone. In this case, they may tell you that they will not recruit.
No matter how you ask for an interview. Tell them you understand, but you want to see them so they know who you are, in case they need someone.
If someone calls me and says... I might even hire them and replace one of my employees, and the employee is not doing very well. This appeal shows initiative and shows that you will be a great worker.
3. Dress and demonstration
So now you have an interview... very important. Most children will be tempted to wear them because they are too scary - they wear vests, shorts and slippers to attend the interview.
Even though this may be the standard outfit for most teenagers, it can leave a bad first impression. As an employer, we think, "Oh no, this child is not professional.
You just left a good impression on your phone, so you need to rejuvenate with a good visual impression. Make sure you wear a collar shirt, whether it's casual pants or khakis, and a pair of beautiful shoes. Women should wear the same thing or wear pretty clothes that are not too short.
His will will distinguish you from other children's applications, which will leave a good impression on the employer... Hello!
In addition to dressing well... always remember to sit high and say well. Eye contact and confidently answer questions.
When you are lazy, chewing gum or looking around, it will make you look stupid and unqualified.
You have it! If you can make these simple changes, you will make yourself more valuable to your employer and more likely to get the job you want!
