Teen Job-Search Readiness Quiz.
Scoring:
Give yourself 10 points for every true response and 0 points for every false response.
90-100 pts. -- You are a ready to find your first job! Congratulations. You have
put in the time and effort and completed your research. While it still may take a lot of effort,
you should have good success in finding your first job.

understanding of the job-search process, but what you don't understand could hold you back or
make it harder to find that first job. Consider brushing up on what you don't know.
Under 70 pts. -- You are in for a long struggle in finding your first job -- unless
you take the time now to learn the key elements you don't currently understand. Use the resources
