In a fast-paced world of emails and text messaging, it's easy for young people to forget the importance of concise business writing with a courteous presentation. Indeed, many teens may not realize that the 'laid-back' communication style that is common at school is far from appropriate in the world of work. This video brings viewers back to basics: how to write a proper resume, what to wear on a job interview, and how to behave appropriately in the workplace. Viewers will enjoy a series of dramatic (and sometimes comical) vignettes that identify what is-and is not-proper workplace behavior. Special emphasis is given to the importance of good speaking and writing skills. Treating bosses and colleagues with due respect is also presented as a crucial part of being a successful employee.

Follow-up activities in the Teacher's Resource Book will help students improve their writing abilities, and offer role-play opportunities to practice proper workplace behaviors.
