How Do I … Get a Job?

This game is designed 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.

This engaging discussion card based activity encourages participants to:
• Answer questions
• Appraise themselves
• Decide whether advice suggested is good or bad
• Role-play situations and interactions using hypothetical scenarios.

The game can be played by any number of people, although 4-6 is recommended.
