Readyjob.org is a FREE Job Readiness site that has developed lesson plans and quizzes to help students find and acquire their first job, and has provided lists of companies that hire teens. The ReadyJob team has noticed something pretty exciting over the last few years — more and more Americans seem to be starting their own businesses! Many of the students they work with are also entrepreneurially spirited, so they've set aside several helpful business-related resources over the last few months to help them prepare for wherever their dreams lead them.
