I just finished reading the book "Teens and the Job Game" by Beverly Sloma.
As the CEO of a teen job site, I frequently read books on the topic of getting your first job.
In my opinion, this book is one of the better ones that I have read in this category.
The basic theme of the book is what teens need to do right now to prepare for their first job and also what to do to succeed when they land the job.
What I especially liked about the book was the author's passion.
The author has a Master's degree in education, and that really comes through with her knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject.
It was easy to get drawn into this book because the author was so engaging.
I also like the fact that she uses real world examples of what has worked for teens in the past.
She also sprinkles in a lot of inspirational quotes to keep the reader engaged and entertained.
I also like the fact that the author addresses certain issues that all teens have to be aware of when going on interviews.
I appreciate that she emphasizes that teens need to speak well, dress well, and have good posture.
These are the basics, but it always helps to have the basic reinforced.
In closing, I think this is a must read for any teen that is looking for a part time job or summer job.
In fact, I would recommend that school systems buy this book and hand it out all students as required reading.
