First Step Work Ready Resumes
Under 18

Questionnaire and parent consent

Short answers are fine. If a question doesn't fit, leave it blank or write N/A. This includes the parent or guardian consent at the end — no separate form needed.

18 or over? Use the standard questionnaire instead →

Don't put passwords, bank details or tax file numbers on this form. Your answers are only used to write your documents — see the customer agreement for how your information is handled.

The basics

These go straight onto your resume, so double-check the spelling.

What kind of work

Tick anything you'd take. More ticks means more options. Applying for an apprenticeship or traineeship? Tick that box as well as the trade or work area.

Work areas

Copy these exactly from SEEK, Indeed, the company website, social media post or other job advertisement.

Tickets and licences

Licence class

Site realities

Employers weigh these up whether they ask or not. Better we answer them properly.

What you've done

Never had a paid job? That's fine. School, sport, helping family, volunteering and side jobs all count — at this level employers hire on attitude.

One real example

A time you turned up when it was hard, fixed a problem, or stuck at something. Doesn't have to be work.

Interviews

This is what your interview prep is built from. Be straight with me.

Optional. Share only what you're comfortable with.

Referees

Two or three people who'll speak well of you — not family. Name, what they do, phone or email, how they know you. Ask them first.

Referee 1

Referee 2

Referee 3 (optional)

Parent or guardian consent

Because this questionnaire is for someone under 18, a parent or guardian needs to fill this in and sign below.
