From reading the selection and based upon my own experiences, this article offers concise but effective steps for job searching. The reader is not confused throughout any part of the selection as it offers intelligent suggestions meant to impress potential employers. The advice provided is clarified with brief explanations which thoroughly describe the intended steps. In my opinion the article could be improved through MORE tips. The author could suggest more ideas which would aid adolescents, such as instructing what information to tell potential employers during interviews or ideas on how to present oneself (body language).

It’s language is appropriate for the respective audience and the report is written in second person perspective to allow the reader to better comprehend the instruction(s).
