How Do I...Get a Job?

This game is designed as a resource to help young people learn to understand and prepare for work experience, job-seeking, interviews and coping in the workplace.

In particular young people with a diagnosis on the Autism Spectrum find interviews difficult in the same way as they may struggle with day-to-day conversations.

Many of the elements of the interactions are similar: greeting appropriately; making eye contact; using appropriate facial expression; listening carefully; asking good questions; requesting clarification, etc.

This fun discussion card-based activity encourages participants to: answer questions; appraise themselves; decide whether advice suggested is good or bad; and, role-play situations and interactions using hypothetical scenarios.

There are 74 cards and the game can be played by any number of people, although 4-6 is recommended.

It is suitable for people of age 15+. Intended for use in educational settings and/or therapy contexts under the supervision of an adult.

This is not a toy.
