Teens and the Job Game: Prepare Today - Win it Tomorrow
Outstanding needed this along time back certainly could have used it in raising my own. But I still have another chance and that's with my grandsons ages Evan 14 and Matt 16.Both now have copies of this book. Would you believe I actually received phones calls." Grandma you were really right about all that stuff ".I am so very happy to know that there finally is a book that gets to the core of what it takes to prepare for the real job world. Congrats! This would be a bonanza for the school system.
