I'm prepping for my first job interview and heard that there are helpful videos out there for high schoolers. Does anyone have recommendations on where to find these resources or which ones are the most helpful?
Yes, you're definitely on the right track—there are many educational videos and resources available online that can help prepare you for your first job interview.
CollegeVine, for example, has a YouTube channel loaded with webinars on a range of topics, including job search and job interview preparation. You can tune in to tips on crafting your resume, acing your interview, and more.
Additionally, the Khan Academy website has a "Careers and Personal Finance" section that includes lessons on job hunting and spinning your activities and experiences into a compelling story for employers.
Furthermore, LinkedIn Learning also has a course called "Mastering Common Interview Questions" which can be beneficial because it specifically targets common questions and how you can respond to them effectively.
Keep in mind that watching these are a great start, but equally important is practicing—try to have a mock interview with someone who can provide insightful, constructive feedback. Remember that everyone gets better with practice, so try not to feel too nervous about your first job interview. Best of luck!
