Land the Part-Time Job: A Job Search Toolkit for Neurodivergent Teens & Young Adults

Applying for a first job is hard enough. When you're neurodivergent, on top of the resume and the interview, there's the follow-up call that feels impossible to make, the tracking system that never quite sticks, and the not knowing what to say when you walk in to ask about an opening.

This toolkit was built for one of our students working toward exactly that goal, and it's designed to take the guesswork out of the process.

What's inside:

📋 Application Tracker — a ready-to-use spreadsheet to log where you've applied, when, and what happens next, so nothing falls through the cracks

📝 Step-by-Step Guide — a clear walkthrough of the whole process, from applying to following up

✉️ Follow-Up Email Templates — copy, personalize, send. No staring at a blank screen

📞 Phone & In-Person Scripts — exactly what to say when you call or walk in, including what to do if you get voicemail

This resource was created with executive functioning challenges in mind: predictable structure, low-effort scripts, and permission to feel awkward about follow-up (because almost everyone does).

Format: PDF guide with Google Sheets link inside, delivered digitally
