Essay / Research Paper Abstract
(5 pp) Looking for work is a full time job in
itself, and not many people tell us that when we
begin the job search. Students who are entering
the job market must be aware of the job seeking
process, as well as have tools at their disposal
to avoid discouragement while they look for
employment. Are there ways which students can be
better prepared for this task? Our discussion will
examine that question.
Thesis statement: SCANS skills should be
incorporated into multi-discipline lesson plans.

lesson plans, role-playing, or written assignments. It is helpful to assist the student is seeing how these skills can be translated from a non-work environment, into the work scene.
Skills "be" skills It is not unusual for a student to think their skills in employment are minimal. The complaint one often hears, is "how can I
get a job if I do not have experience, and how can I get experience, if I can not get a job." The cycle seems to be like the
