This student guide supplements a career development unit on coping in the world of work designed to assist students in developing coping strategies to deal with work entry and job adjustment problems. (Other components of the unit--instructor's handbook, handout/transparency masters, and filmstrip/sound cassette programs, are available separately.) The problem-solving approach that involves diagnosing the problem, generating solutions, evaluating and choosing solutions, and testing the solution is used in the student exercises. Major areas for which materials are supplied are (1) career planning and training problems including educational preparation, job goals and expectations, job changes, and geographic mobility; (2) job getting problems including job seeking, interviewing and test-taking, job placement, prior work experience, job layoffs and rejections, prejudice, and communication; (3) on-the-job adjustment problems including automation and changing technology, new roles, work rules and standards, work habits, alienation, and getting along with others; and (4) off-the-job adjustment problems including family and personal situational adjustment, attitudes and values, and self-image.
