Children's Literature Comprehensive Database (CLCD)
“This friendly guide should be in every library that serves middle and high school students. . . . The text itself begins with discussions about realistic first job opportunities, searching and applying for a job, creating a resume, and interviewing techniques. In the second half of the book, there’s plenty of solid advice about how to behave in the work environment, balancing work, school, and social demands, and even exploring future employment goals. Reviewer Rating: 5”—Children’s Literature
