A Job For Me is designed for high school students who are seeking employment for the first time. The program can be used in its entirety or in segments as needed in the classroom setting. The student workbook can also be used as a self-study guide to help in employment preparation. The guide is arranged in sections to allow the student to work at his/her own pace in gaining self-confidence, through completing applications, writing a resume, and preparing for an interview. This project was revised in 2002 and has two new sections. A Job For Me contains:

Section A
Building Self-confidence

Section B
Getting Started in a Job Search

Section C
Preparing Applications and Resumes

Section D
Preparing for Interviews

Section E
Dress for Success: also available online at www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/dress
