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.
