Helping your teen get on their career track

I can remember trying to find my first job. I had no idea what to do or how to do it.

Looking back now I wish I had kept better track of all my experiences starting at a much younger age. Even now I find it challenging to remember to keep track of my accomplishments month to month. We know that the habits formed in our youth carry over into adulthood.

I am designing a tool for parents to help their teens keep track of accomplishments throughout high school so that by the time they are in university they have a record they can use for their resume. It will also help them to form the habit of keeping a record of accomplishments.

So I need your help. There a few ways this could be done and I am interested to know which method of tracking you would be most likely to use with your teen?

1. Paper based bound notebook with templates.

2. Web based log in system where the templates are on line and you login to fill them in.

3. An App used on a cell phone.

Please take a minute to answer the survey on the right.
