Job Search

Job Search deconstructs the rather complex process of seeking—and finding—appropriate employment through a process that emphasizes the use of proper skills, attitude, and knowledge to land a high-interest job. The consumable workbook provides a thorough overview of the job-search process, while checklists and other activities help students set goals, build support systems, and make appropriate contacts. Later chapters provide learners with practice in completing applications, preparing résumés, writing cover letters, and assembling references. The closing chapter covers common interview questions and suggested responses, while a role-play exercise provides students with an opportunity to sharpen their interviewing skills. The text also discusses various post-interview strategies.
