High schoolers and middle schoolers often deal with “What do you want to do?” and they are put in an anxiety pool.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Every year, millions of Black teenagers like you work to navigate the American job market. Unfortunately, courageous and resilient young people are often underprepared and face various barriers due to systemic inequities-making them less likely to gain and excel in meaningful employment opportunities. Additionally, most "how to get a job" books provide a race-neutral, one-size-fits-all model that does not speak to the unique realities and challenges facing you and other Black youth. These two problems led to the creation of this book.

Y'all Hiring? is a practical, culturally-relevant guide for black youth seeking to obtain, maintain, and exit a job in a thoughtful manner. This book provides a much-needed framework that reminds you of your greatness while preparing you for the world of work.

Filled with actionable steps and real-world analysis, this book offers useful advice on:

√ Understanding and challenging workplace discrimination

√ Maintaining your cultural integrity regardless of where you work

√ Strategically exiting your job and planning the next phase of your journey

√ Improving your résumé to reflect your best self

√ Managing inevitable workplace stress

√ Becoming the young professional you are destined to be

Assessments can help you choose a good career fit.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Career assessment is a way to learn more about how well a variety of careers might suit you. Different types of assessments focuses on specific areas, such as skills, interests, or values. Typically, an assessment asks you to answer questions about what you like, don't like, what's important to you, and what your strengths are.

Since assessment results may relate to as many as 900 different occupations, don't panic if your results include careers that don't interest you. Experts recommended that you take more than one assessment to broaden your ideas before you make a decision. It can also be helpful to talk with a career counselor, family and friends before making a career decision.

Try these assessments to start:

The Interest Assessment is a quick 30-question assessment that identifies your interests and matches them to careers

The Skills Matcher identifies your skills and matches them to careers that use those skills

The Work Values Matcher is a card sort that helps you identify the qualities that are most important to you in a career and the place you work

For more assessments and help with understanding and applying your results, talk with a career counselor at a community college, community agency or your nearest American Job Center.
