The Job Success Handbook: 201 Classroom Activities to Help Students Get Hired and Be Successful in the Workplace Brian Harris

The Job Success Handbook can help high school students get hired and be more more successful in the workplace, whether they are looking for full-time or part-time jobs. This book is based on research with companies that looks at the six major factors employers look for when they hire. By understanding these six factors, students can more successfully write cover letters and resumes, learn how to network more effectively and be more successful in job interviews. The six factors include developing a positive attitude, improving people skills (including conflict resolution), establishing a strong work ethic, and learning the importance of embracing change. As students learn these important factors there can also be a positive transfer to being more successful in school. The book contains 201 ready-to-use classroom activities. These activities have already been used by thousands of students. Ready-to-use handouts are also inlcuded in the book in the form of black-line masters that can be freely copied. This can save teachers hours of preparation time.
