Your First Job Interview Workbook

Your first job interview doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.

The First Job Interview Workbook from Empowered Path Careers is a practical, step-by-step guide designed for high school students, college students, and young adults preparing to enter the workforce.

Instead of simply telling you to “be confident,” this workbook helps you actually prepare. You’ll learn what employers are looking for, how to talk about your strengths even if you’ve never had a job before, how to answer common interview questions, and how to use real experiences from school, sports, volunteering, clubs, babysitting, and everyday life to demonstrate what you can offer.

Inside, you'll work through interview preparation, the STAR method, practice questions, transferable skills, questions to ask an interviewer, what to wear, interview-day preparation, follow-up messages, and even ways to use AI as an interview practice partner.

The goal isn't to memorize perfect answers or pretend to be someone you're not. It's to help you walk into your interview knowing how to explain who you are, what you can offer, and why you're ready to learn.

Perfect for: first-time job seekers, high school and college students, young adults with limited work experience, and parents looking for a practical career-readiness resource.
