This creative and challenging
program turns a learning environment into a realistic job
interview site. Individuals learn how to write a resume, go
on job interviews, complete jobs applications, and write
business letters. It is designed to turn every student into
an applicant and every teacher into an instant interviewer.
Contents
This well-organized binder contains a teacher's manual, five
student work packets, a wallet resume, an interview

materials are reproducible. The comprehensive student work
units teach the necessary skills for finding a job.
Choosing a Job to Apply For.

preferences, and qualifications to decide if they should
apply for specific jobs. Students are taught about help
wanted ads, job services offices, and word of mouth.

Getting Ready for an Interview.
This packet teaches students how to prepare for interview in
appearance; how to find out about the company they are

persistence, and sending follow-up letters.
