About This Product

Technology isn’t just changing how work gets done across various industries—it’s also changing the process of searching for and getting a job in the first place. Online portfolios, social networking, webcam interviews—these new realities are not replacing traditional ones such as résumés, cover letters, and a firm handshake; this technology has become an additional aspect of the modern job search to be mastered. This collection covers all the bases, from the tried and true to the cutting edge, while also providing overviews of career fields across the spectrum and insights into the necessary skills for success on the job.

This collection is available as a single-subject collection or as part of the Films On Demand Master Career & Technical Education Video Package.

  • Career Advantage: Strategies for Success – multiple-award-winning 26-part series that guides students through the phases of career development, from self-knowledge and values assessment to networking and résumé building, and ultimately to implementation of their determined goals.

  • Top Careers in Two Years an 11-part series highlighting solid careers that students can pursue with a two-year associate’s degree.
