First job application checklist and starter kit

A first application is easier to improve when each piece has a clear job. Use this quick pass before submitting anything.

Before you apply

  1. Save the job description and highlight the three requirements you can demonstrate.
  2. Put a plain, readable contact header on your resume and keep dates consistent.
  3. Write a short cover note that names the role, one relevant example and the next step you want.
  4. Prepare two concrete examples for likely interview questions.
  5. Record the employer, date, follow-up date and current status so applications do not disappear.

The Get Hired Starter Kit on Whop is listed at $7.99 one-time and includes editable resume and cover-letter templates, an application tracker, interview workbook and beginner guide. It supports preparation but does not guarantee an interview or job.

Use the checklist to review your own application. Edit every template to match your actual experience and the specific role.
