About the Book

With U.S. unemployment the lowest it's been in 25 years, the job market for teens has never been better. But even in good times, it can be hard for teens to find jobs that are right for them. They still must be able to interview with confidence, stick with the daily grind and figure out how much money will be paid in taxes. The Complete Idiot's GuideA (R) to Cool Jobs for Teens teaches job-finding skills (resumes and cover letter writing and interviewing techniques), job-keeping skills, being an entrepreneur, spending and saving on a salary and exploring internships and volunteering. Ideal for 12-18 year-olds.
