Teens and The Job Game

Are you a teen looking for a job? Then this book is right
for you. Inside this book, you will learn the skills
necessary to find a successful job. There are five chapters
in the book: Developing your whole self, Education and
Workspace Relations, Choosing a Career, Searching for a Job,
and Behaviors in the Workplace. For example, it explains how
to develop as a whole person by looking from all
perspectives, and encourages readers to set realistic goals.
Scattered in each chapter are quotes from high school
students just like you. Furthermore, there are reflective
questions at the end of each chapter designated to help the
reader focus on their goals, and earn their way towards
those goals. It is essential to have good study skills, and
this book teaches you just that. After learning about how to
become an excellent applicant, the reader will learn about
how to create an excellent resume and cover letter. Most
importantly, it will teach how to contact the employer and
ace the interview. After reading the book, you will be ready
to find your dream job!

I believe this book is very inspiring, and really does
try to motivate the reader to get out there and find a job.
Not only does it motivate the reader, it also teaches the
reader how this is accomplished. There are reflective
questions at the end of each chapter that helps the reader
reflect and plan their future goals. Also, there are tons of
quotes from actually high school students and teachers,
which is very inspirational for me. I pretty much agree with
every sentence in the book, and believe that this is a very
helpful book for people who are looking for a job, but don't
know how to get one. After finishing the book, I feel very
optimistic about the future. Who won't?
