Jobs & Applications

Find work, write a resume, apply and interview.

▶️

Jobs and Applications walks you from zero experience to a signed offer: resume, application, interview and follow-up.

Kid Tapp™ overview episode

Your first resume

  • One page: name, contact, short summary, experience, education, skills.
  • No experience? List school projects, volunteering, sports, caregiving, side hustles.
  • Use action verbs and numbers: 'Served 60+ customers per shift'.

Applying without burning out

  • Apply to 5 quality roles a day rather than 50 copy-pastes a week.
  • Match keywords from the job post — most applications are machine-screened first.
  • Track every application: company, date, contact, status.

Interview and follow-up

  • Answer with STAR: Situation, Task, Action, Result.
  • Always ask two questions back — about the team and about success in 90 days.
  • Send a thank-you email within 24 hours; it genuinely moves decisions.

🎬 Episode: Zero-experience resume in 30 minutes

Build a real resume from life experience only.

  1. List every responsibility you've ever held, paid or not.
  2. Turn each into one line: action verb + what you did + result.
  3. Cut to the strongest six lines and format on one clean page.
