review 1: This is a fun book about a know-it-all girl teaching others how to get a job. It looks at the process starting with deciding what you want to be all the way to acing the interview. It is very fun with all the side comments the girl makes and i'm sure children would have fun reading and listening to it. The pictures are simple and fun and students could even mimic some of them in their own drawings.
review 2: The third in a series of fun books narrated by a know-it-all little girl, How to Get a Job… by Me, the Boss by Sally Lloyd-Jones is child’s eye view on the process of employment. From brainstorming about what you’d like to be to the practical steps to get there, it’s all covered in this volume. Both Kate (7) and Lexi (5.5) really enjoyed it. We h
... moreave read the other books in the series, so they were familiar with the concept, lots of insight wrapped in wit and child-like goofiness.The girls comprehended enough to laugh at all the right places and to ask good questions. However, the ground covered was more complex than How to Be a Baby… and How to Get Married… so I am not sure it will be as easily understood by preschoolers as those are, but now my kids know about resumes!Both my girls are very interested in art, and they loved Sue Heap’s illustrations. Kate spent a while studying to try to decide what mediums she used (Publisher’s Weekly says crayon and acrylic paint.) Of course, this is great fodder for talking about what kids want to be when they grow up, and the steps it will take to get there. Sally Lloyd-Jones is a great storyteller, and we are all glad when we share her gifts together. We’ve read this several times already and I’m sure we will continue to enjoy it for many years to come. less

There really is some good advice in here. Biting the person who is interviewing you would be bad.

Shrug. I'm not the intended audience, so it doesn't matter. :)
