Reviews:

Highly Recommended In a series of DVDs and workbooks, Human Relations Media addresses various issues about being a member of today’s workforce. Some of the information may appear to be rudimentary (i.e., Workplace Etiquette), but is solid and helpful, especially those new to the workforce. Additional information (Seven Competency Skills for the Workplace and White Hot Jobs) serve as refreshers to more experienced workers and briefings about the skills and trends emerging in today’s society.

The audio and video production of these films are of excellent quality, and what makes these titles stand out are the accompanying teacher’s resource books which include tables of contents, summaries, introductions, objectives, student activities, bibliographies, and in some cases, lists of additional Internet resources. Seven Competencies and White Hot Jobs include additional, specialized resources such as pre and post tests, competency charts, job questions and lists of popular and unpopular fields.

These DVDs stand alone and alternatively work well together as a suite of information. The films, individually and collectively, are highly recommended and are best suited for school libraries and academic libraries that have career collections. It should be noted that if presented with a purchasing choice, these DVDs are of better quality than similar titles reviewed here in EMRO.
