Not all teens on the street are runaways. Some are throw-aways. "...teenage readers will appreciate a novel that speaks to them as adults and not mindless readers."

Flamingnet Student Book Reviewer  YG
Are you a teen looking for a job? Then this book is right for you. Inside this book, you will learn the skills necessary to find a successful job. There are five chapters in the book: Developing your whole self, Education and Workspace Relations, Choosing a Career, Searching for a Job, and Behaviors in the Workplace. For example, it explains how to develop as a whole person by looking from all perspectives, and encourages readers to set realistic goals. Scattered in each chapter are quotes from high school students just like you. Furthermore, there are reflective questions at the end of each chapter designated to help the reader focus on their goals, and earn their way towards those goals. It is essential to have good study skills, and this book teaches you just that. After learning about how to become an excellent applicant, the reader will learn about how to create an excellent resume and cover letter. Most importantly, it will teach how to contact the employer and ace the interview. After reading the book, you will be ready to find your dream job!

I believe this book is very inspiring, and really does try to motivate the reader to get out there and find a job. Not only does it motivate the reader, it also teaches the reader how this is accomplished. There are reflective questions at the end of each chapter that helps the reader reflect and plan their future goals. Also, there are tons of quotes from actually high school students and teachers, which is very inspirational for me. I pretty much agree with every sentence in the book, and believe that this is a very helpful book for people who are looking for a job, but don't know how to get one. After finishing the book, I feel very optimistic about the future. Who won't?
