The premise
First job applications teach more when the teen does the work. AI is the practice partner; the teen must drive.
What AI does well here
- Generate age-appropriate resume templates for someone with no work history
- Draft sample interview questions and rehearse responses
- Suggest follow-up email language
- Brainstorm references the teen could realistically ask
What AI cannot do
- Replace the teen actually doing the application
- Predict which employers respond to which approach
- Substitute for an in-person interview practice run
- Make the teen care about the outcome
