Job hunting is a significant aspect of occupational behavior and a task that recurs at intervals during the lifespan. Adolescents constitute a vulnerable population-at-risk in their efforts to enter the labor market. Their self-esteem, mastery, and sense of competency are at stake. This paper describes an adaptation of a method currently being used by business management firms that counsel executive clients in the job-hunting process. The method described is tailored to the needs of teenagers and is presented so that occupational therapists can use or modify the method for clients who lack confidence or experience in job hunting.

Clark recently challenged OTRs to investigate accountability theory. It is a topic which deserves attention. This paper describes briefly the nature of accountability theory and suggests how theory can be applied to occupational therapy practice. An accountability model based upon an education model is presented for occupational therapists who wish to design their own accountability plans. Examples are included to show how the model can be translated into operational terms.
