Mock interview prompts

  • Tell me about yourself.
  • Why do you want to work here?
  • What does being on time say about a person?
  • What would you do if you made a mistake at work?
  • What does good work ethic look like when you do not feel like working?
  • Interview appearance note: clean, simple, respectful, and appropriate beats overdressed or careless.
How would you explain work ethic to your teen?
What does working toward a higher goal look like beyond just getting paid?
What kinds of starter-job skills could later help with leadership, responsibility, or trust?

Part 5 - Resume and paperwork readiness

Help your teen see what they can build before they have a long work history.

Starter resume-building ideas

  • List strengths honestly: reliable, coachable, communicates well, willing to learn, shows up on time.
  • Paperwork practice can include forms for jobs, medical offices, school, housing, and banking.
  • Doctor paperwork practice matters too: name, birth date, address, insurance basics, emergency contact, and appointment reason.

Next action

This week, use this worksheet as the follow-through to the exact Module 4 lesson you read, then complete one real life-admin action: make the call, solve the problem, organize the document, or ask for help clearly.

This worksheet should help the lesson turn into one specific decision, conversation, or rep this week.

Write your commitment

Suggested use

  • Read the matching lesson first, not just the module overview.
  • Use this worksheet right away while that specific lesson is still fresh.
  • Leave with one action you can actually do this week, not a vague intention.
