Winning at work readiness

This plain-speaking guide provides teens with specific measures for finding a job and preparing for a career. It gives them the tools to identify their skills and interests and set job search goals, use resources (including social media), stay organized, complete job applications, compile a resume and cover letter, interview and follow-up, promote themselves, and parlay job hunting experience toward new goals that can be used throughout their lives. Other topics examined are considering a job offer and accepting it, growing on the job, time management, taking responsibility, working as a team, and earning a postsecondary degree
