For Boys Only

Situation: Rick and Dan, two high school sophomores, are driving home from school.

Dan: What a sissy! Did you hear that Kevin's got a job baby-sitting?

Rick: Yeh, so what? I have to take care of my kid brother.

Dan: No, I don't mean his kid brother.  I mean a regular job every day after school. He's going to take care of two little brats from three to five o'clock, Monday through Friday! What a sissy!

(Rick and Dan spot Kevin walking up his driveway.)

Rick: Hey! Kevin! Do you need some diapers or bottles? My mom's got some extras lying around!

Dan: Yey! Hey, Kevin, I waaaaant a baaaaatle! Peeeese, Kevie!

====================

Consider

Does your answer about "sissy" consider the following?

-- There is a shortage of jobs for teen-agers.

-- Babysitting is working with people. It is for men, women, and children. It is a forming-relationships kind of activity.

-- Babysitting may pay better than some other jobs, considering it does not involve uniforms or work-related expenses.

-- Babysitting has benefits, among them are:

1. You can play with children while you work.

2. If the children eat, you usually can, too.

3. The work is more varied than most jobs for teen-agers. Unexpected things can happen.

4. You have adult responsibilities when you babysit.

Scroll up to the answer you typed above and add any ideas the information may have inspired.


====================

Are other jobs considered "sissy" work for boys? How would you feel about these jobs?

a. nursing home aide, orderly, or laundry helper
b. table or counter help (as in waitress or waiter)
c. small shop or department store clerk
d. bakery clerk or baker's helper
e. beauty shop assistant

Which of the above jobs would you refuse? (Type the letters)

WHY do you think some people consider some jobs are for females only? (No fair saying, "I don't know; they just are!")

Some jobs are considered for females only, because...

<  >


====================

Consider

To choose your answer from the choices following each statement, delete the ones you don't want.

Work which involves physically caring for people -- touching, helping, or serving them -- is work for females.

No
Yes
Maybe

If you answered "No," you may realize that jobs in health care pay better than many other jobs. Pay is not the only benefit. You have a chance to find out if you have what it takes to work with people who are not in peak condition. Have you ever considered becoming a doctor, a psychiatrist, a therapist, or a social worker?

Yes
No
Maybe

Training, responsibilities, duties, and rewards do differ. But the fundamental question remains: Do you have what it takes to work with people who are not in peak condition? An entry-level job in health care is a good way to find out. Best of all, a good aide or orderly is appreciated by patients and staff.

If you undervalue the work of waiters, waitresses, and others who serve the public, you may be underestimating the job. Being a waiter or waitress is a juggling act! Can you be quick on your feet; take orders correctly and serve them up hot to the right customers; make out checks accurately; and be cheerful and courteous at all times?


====================

If you want a job for an organization or business that usually hires only girls, be sure to think through why you want the job.

I want to work (as a nurse's assistant, at serving tables, at... ) because...

====================

Does the answer you typed above consider:

-- valuable experience for future work
-- desire to help people
-- desire to work with people

Personal Interview

A good tactic is to telephone ahead and ask for a personal interview. Why is asking for a personal interview rather than asking for a job a good tactic?

Asking for a personal interview is a good tactic because...

<  >


====================

Consider

Do your reasons for asking for a personal interview include these thoughts?

--  Some organizations and businesses without an opening will still grant a personal interview. You gain experience. Take all the practice you can get in job interviewing.

--  The company gains a potential future employee who demonstrates interest by being interviewed even when there isn't a known opening.

--  If you make a good impression, you have an edge on applicants who have not interviewed when an opening does occur.

--  It is easy on the telephone to say, "Sorry, we have no openings." It is harder to say, "Sorry, but we don't grant personal interviews." Most employees of companies (especially owners and managers) like to tell people about their company. Many companies are reluctant to refuse a request for a personal interview, especially when no commitment to hire is involved.

Is being fifteen or sixteen years old a reason why you should not be granted a personal interview? No! You have as much right as an older person to request and receive an interview.

Summary

The next time you hear someone like Dan call out "Sissy!" ignore them. Know that you are making a valuable contribution to yourself and others.
