Job Application & Interview Practice Pack: Mock Applications, 40 Question Cards

Help students get ready for a first job. This pack gives teens and young adults hands-on practice with the two steps between them and a paycheck: the job application and the interview. Every job is a real kind of entry-level, part-time job, like grocery bagger, retail sales associate, dishwasher, shelf stocker, and custodian. All businesses and people are made up, so students can practice without sharing private information.
