Job Survival: Keeping and Advancing in Your Job

Noting that good employees have two things in common—a great attitude and solid work habits—Job Survival includes scenarios featuring “Scott” and “Sabrina,” whose bad work habits are demonstrated, and later corrected with the help of constructive feedback from their supervisors. Scott is the young office worker who wants to be a senior VP by the time he's 23, but is blind to his tendency to brag, or insult and blame fellow employees for blown deadlines, among other career killers. Sabrina works in a surf/T-shirt shop, but is too preoccupied with her own life to grasp what she's supposed to be doing every day in exchange for that sweet paycheck. Most workplace basics are covered here, including appropriate dress, separating personal and work lives, reliability, courtesy, respect, time management tips, and communication skills. This solid program is packaged with a booklet designed to help instructors and bosses with follow-up lessons. Recommended. Aud: H, C, P. (C. Block)
