job, understand how to apply for a job, how to have a successful

minutes.

Where Do I Fit In?
It’s important for a teen to have a sound understanding of the world
of work and how they can fit into the future workforce. The point is
made that we do best what we really want to do. So how do we gather
information about ourselves? To do this well, we must look at our
interests, goals and values, preferred activities, lifestyle and
personality. How does school fit into the equation? Where Do I Fit
In? explores all these issues with clear discussions and graphics.
The Easy Way to Write a Resume
Did you know you have about 20 seconds to grab a prospective
employer with your resume? Writing a resume is one of the most
difficult tasks a person must do and there is a lot of pressure to
do it well. So how do you help students write a resume? First, a
student has to understand the purpose of a resume. We have broken
this down into simple steps: Information Gathering; Writing an
Objective Statement; How to Take Real Life Experiences and Translate
them into Job Skills; How to Sell Yourself by Using Power Words;
Tips for a Polished Resume, Meeting Your Goals and Cover Letters.
The How To's of Looking Good and Applying
for Jobs
Where does one go to look for jobs? Various techniques common for
teens are covered: networking with family and friends, classifieds,
internet and the common technique of dropping in on the business to
ask if they have any openings. Utilizing the phone, computer and
word of mouth are all important when looking for a job. This video
also reviews how to fill out an application, mailing out resumes,
follow-up calls, picking references and record keeping during the
job hunt.
Successful Interviewing: The Do's and
Don'ts
A job interview can be the most crucial 15 minutes in a job search.
And, it is usually the most anxious 15 minutes. The interview is the
culmination of hard work and with a little preparation, it can be a
person’s time to shine. Watching this video will give the student
viewer examples of right and wrong ways to interview, including how
to dress, greeting people, being on time and how to answer the
obvious questions like “tell me about yourself.” You never have a
second chance for a first impression, so being prepared will gain
confidence and increase the chances of success!
Teens At Work and Money Management
There are two parts to this video: Keeping the Job and Understanding
Your Paycheck. How to keep a job is broken down into simple “rules”:
be on time; know what is expected of you; work hard; don’t gossip; dress appropriately; and, do
your best. When someone first starts getting a paycheck, it can be
confusing to understand what happens to the money that seems to
disappear. What do teens do with their paycheck? Some spend it on
video games, food and movies while others save. This video helps
young people understand their goals, which will help them budget and
plan what to do with their money instead of spending it and always
being broke.
