Job-hunters who represent the youngest members of the millennial generation or “Generation Y” have more resources at their disposal than any previously emergent group. This DVD program examines technology-based tools that can help young job-seekers and the skills necessary to make those tools work.

 

Viewers learn about developing a digital career portfolio and investigating potential employers using the vast treasure trove of information on the Internet.

 

The program also discusses ways to access the “hidden” job market through personal networking, the four main styles of resume (chronological, skills-based, targeted, and generic), the advantages of mock interviews, and the STAR system.

 

Viewing time: 27 minutes. In English, with English-language subtitles. 2009.
