The new Job Search Knowledge Scale (JSKS) provides a quick, easy-to-use-and-interpret way to measure job search knowledge in five areas. This self-scoring and self-interpreting assessment includes 60 true/false statements and takes users only a few minutes to complete. Their scores lead to discovering topics on which they need more information or instruction in order to be more effective in their job search. Test takers also get some guidance on the job search methods that work best so they can find jobs more quickly. Plus, there's space for a Job Search Journal and for Job Search Goals. The JSKS is a valid pre-test and post-test for educators, workforce development professionals, and counselors who want to or need to prove their results and effectiveness. Parallels JIST's job search workbooks.
