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. Age: 16+
