You're Hired!

Entering the workforce is an exciting step for young people eager to share their talents and skills with the rest of the world. Part-time jobs in a variety of industries can help kids identify their professional strengths and weaknesses as they start earning their own money. The You’re Hired! series discusses the most common first jobs available to teens. Some young people may enjoy working as cashiers, food-service workers, or camp counselors. Other young people may prefer the challenge of starting their own babysitting, dog-walking, or lawncare business. With striking color photographs, a fun Find Out More section, and a useful index, this series will guide teens through the process of finding and starting a first job—and perhaps even spark a passion for a future career.
