| Abstract: | This condensation of a longer report presents some of the findings of a study of job search approaches used by young people. Using 2 cohorts on which past test information was available—260 Ss about 20 yrs old and 250 Ss about 32 yrs old—data were collected on what techniques had been used in the participants' job search; which approaches were thought to be most effective; and what factors, when measured in high school, best predicted employment status and satisfaction at the time of the study. The samples were weighted toward urban minority youth, and analyses were performed by cohort, race, and sex. A profile of the successful job-seeking youth is drawn from these analyses.
