Every teenager wants to win the dating game. Why should the job game be any different? Teens and the Job Game: Prepare Today-Win it Tomorrow, by former Merrill Lynch Vice President Beverly Slomka, offers teenagers a fresh, new way to think about how to land- and keep-that perfect job.


Teens and the Job Game includes interview tips, sample resumes and cover letters, but it's much more than a how-to book. Slomka asks readers to consider the whole self-including dress, attitude, self-image, and people skills-in making the transition from school to work. What do employers expect, and how can teens meet those expectations?


When it comes to career planning, the book encourages readers to set realistic goals and to think about the true meaning of success. Is it about making a lot of money, or is there more to it than that? And once you get the dream job, how do you score a perfect ten as an employee? Teens and the Job Game explains how to prepare for the first day of a new job and discusses appropriate workplace behavior, how to handle constructive criticism, corporate ethics, and more. Stories taken from the author's years of experience in the corporate world provide real-life examples.


Full of concrete suggestions and thought-provoking questions, Teens and the Job Game can be used as a career-planning workbook for individuals or groups. Write-in sections at the end of each chapter reinforce the various topics.


Teens and the Job Game will be released simultaneously in three formats: paperback, hardcover, and e-book, and will be available nationally. For more information, please visit www.teensandthejobgame.com.
