This session will provide you insight on how to improve your attitude towards searching for employment through the Job Search Attitude Inventory (JSAI).
Your attitude when looking for a job is the most important factor in finding employment. The JSAI helps you to identify the attitudes you hold about looking for a job. You will be asked the extent to which you agree or disagree with 32 statements about the job search process. You will then score your responses in four attitude categories.
The JSAI is not a test, and there are no right or wrong answers. Just follow the directions for each step and take your time. When you are done, you will have a better idea about your attitudes toward looking for a job. The JSAI will also pose questions for reflection and recommend strategies that will improve your job search.
