Many young people feel like they are facing a Catch-22 as they try to land their first job. Employers are often looking for experience, but you can't gain experience until someone takes a chance on you. This video gives students critical information on what they can do to tip the scales in their favor as they try to obtain their first meaningful employment. Recruiters, managers, job seekers, and those who have already found their dream job all offer their perspectives on the job-search experience. All reinforce the same themes: be prepared, be honest, and be yourself. Strategies that work with employers are detailed, which include constructing the proper resume, writing cover letters, making follow-up phone calls, finding internships, and more. A comprehensive Teacher's Resource Book provides activities that will help students to go into a job hunt with total confidence.
