NON-EDUCATION, NON-WORK COMPONENT: SUPERVISED JOB SEARCH Provide a summary of the State guidelines implementing supervised job search. A successful job search training activity is designed to remove barriers to employment and improve employability. For E&T, job search training activities may include but are not limited to the following: employability assessment, goal setting, developing a personal marketing strategy, tough question anticipation techniques, self-image development, interviewing techniques, telephone canvassing, basic sales techniques, and development of appropriate work behavior and attitudes necessary to compete successfully in the labor market.
