Career Work Experience

This workbook is built to guide readers through the process of finding and landing a job. It moves step by step, starting with an honest look at personal strengths and interests and then turning those findings into concrete career objectives.

From there, the book covers the practical tools of the job hunt. Readers learn how to approach searching for openings, how to write a cover letter that makes an impression, and how to build a resume that stands out. Separate sections address completing application forms and preparing for interviews, including how to present oneself well in that setting.

The later chapters look ahead to long-term planning, showing how to map out a sequence of positions that leads toward a chosen field. The book closes with sample forms and a set of guidelines for businesses and agencies that take part in work experience placements.
