Secrets: Landing and Keeping a Job

If you like The Office, you'll love this program—scripted, shot, and edited exactly like the NBC sitcom—which discusses an important aspect of landing and keeping a job: transferable job skills. The premise kicks off with incompetent boss Alex announcing that corporate headquarters has warned of potential layoffs. During the ensuing shenanigans, the employees learn about communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills that are valuable in both the workplace and life in general. Along the way, the employees come up with a three-step strategy for identifying these important skills and translating them into résumé-ready statements. An entertaining program that will also serve as an effective motivator, this is recommended. Aud: J, H, P. (E. Gieschen)
