How Can The Book Help Teens?

Your Path To A Job is a great resource for any teen ready to look for that first job. Work is not a necessary evil, it is a fact of life - hopefully something to take pride in and look forward to. Knowing how to present yourself to a potential employer, and what to expect during the application process can help make a teen's first venture into the work world a positive experience.

Over the years I've seen hundreds of teens come in to apply for work that were unfamiliar with the process. It was apparent they felt totally lost.  Lost is not a good feeling, especially when you want to be viewed as a competent adult.  Feeling lost can quickly turn into timidity and a reluctance to step out into the work world.  Sometimes that feeling stays with a teen for many years and resurfaces every time a job opportunity comes up. 

Your Path To A Job is an invaluable practical resource for your Homeschooled teen.  It can also be used as a teaching tool in a classroom setting. (Teaching guides are available; just contact us.) By the way, the book makes a fabulous graduation gift. I have heard repeatedly that there is nothing on the market for teens like Your Path To A Job - a book that spells out the mechanics of looking for work in a simple and practical fashion.

It is presented in 6 short chapters:

• Chapter 1 talks about salvation: Why would you do one of the most daunting tasks in life without God on your side?
• Chapter 2 asks 3 simple questions that broaden your job field horizon, not pigeon-hole it, like aptitude surveys do.
• Chapter 3 is all about building the right tools for your job hunt - complete with templates.
• Chapter 4 discusses the Job Hunt itself and the importance of Networking.
• Chapter 5 covers all types of interviews a job seeker might encounter.
• Chapter 6 evaluates whether to take the job or not.

If you are a Homeschooling parent or a Christian school educator, consider adding Your Path To A Job to your curriculum. It will help make your teen's transition from student to adult a successful one.

Here's what Home Schooling Parents and Employers are saying about Your Path To A Job:
