Getting a Good Job

The average adult spends up to one-third of his or her entire life at work. Obviously, unless you want to doom yourself to a miserable existence, it is important to do everything you can to get the job you want. Granted, for those with little or no work experience, this isn't the easiest task. This fine program offers simple and practical instructions on how to navigate the treacherous waters of employment with minimal disaster, going far beyond the usual "dress nicely for your interview" by showing viewers how to prepare a "qualifications brief" (better than a resume for those with little or no history of employment), conduct an extensive job search, and actually get those interviews. The format is simple: two adult hosts outline strategies, which are then acted out by young job-seekers, and the accompanying materials provide an invaluable resource for anyone looking for that perfect career fit, whether it be recent high school grads or adults making their way into the working world for the first time. Strongly recommended. Three other related titles are also available: Getting a Good Start, Getting Along With Your Co-Workers and Getting Along With Your Supervisor (each $99). Aud: H, C, P. (E.
