Good hygiene is an essential part of life. In order to get and keep a job and to live withothers, you must practice good personal hygiene.

Practicing good hygiene habits help you prepare for life's unexpected opportunities. Ifyou are always clean and presentable, you are ready when you meet someone you like or apotential employer. New relationships and jobs can come from such unexpected meetings
it's smart to be prepared.
Because personal hygiene is so important, Job Corps provides rewards for good hygiene.You'll advance faster, earn more privileges and be accepted by your peers.
The final thing about good hygiene is that when you are dean and healthy, you feel goodabout yourself.

1. Use an "Attention-Getting" Activity:Show the video or use one of the Alternate Choices described on the opposite page. Yourpurpose is to get the students interested and to focus their attention on this skill. The activ-ity is an opportunity to have some fun!
Involve the students in a discussion of how this activity relates to the skill that you will bepresenting.
2. Introduce the Skill:
Your personal appearance tells other people something about the kind of person you are.Wearing clothes that are neat, dean and in good repair tells others that you take pride inyour appearance and that you respect yourself.
Dressing appropriately for the situation or activity that you will be participating in will makeyou feel more comfortable and at ease.
On the job you will want to choose clothing that suits your job. For example, a three-piecesuit would be inappropriate for a carpenter or a nurse.
It is also important that your clothing, hair style and accessories be safe. Dangling earrings,loose clothing and flowing hair could be dangerous around power machinery. Long, loosehair is considered unsanitary in the food service industry.
You will also want to find out about your employer's expectations for your appearance sothat you will "fit in" with the image that your company wants to present. Presenting anappropriate image could lead to consideration for advancement.
Dressing and grooming yourself appropriately for the situation doesn't mean that you haveto be just like everyone else. You can maintain your own style and individuality. Butremember, you only get one chance to make a first impression.

Responding to Supervision I 2
1. Use an "Attention-Getting" Activity:Show the video or use one of the Alternate Choices described on the opposite page. Yourpurpose is to get the students interested and to focus their attention on this skill. The activ-ity is an opportunity to have some fun!
Involve the students in a discussion of how this activity relates to the skill that you will bepresenting.
2. Introduce the Skill:A supervisor is an individual who has been assigned the responsibility to guide or directothers to accomplish a task.
When there is a job or task that is too big for one person alone, someone will usually bechosen as supervisor. It is important that you cooperate with the supervisor and follow hisor her directions to do the job.
You will have many "supervisors" throughout your life. In Job Corps you have vocationalinstructors, teachers, residential advisors, and crew leaders.
On the job you will have a supervisor who is responsible for directing, guiding, andevaluating your work. You will need to find out just what your supervisor expects from youon the job and do your best to meet those expectations. If you are uncertain, be sure to askquestions. Since your supervisor is "in charge" it is important that you show respect for hisor her authority. Remember, your supervisor has influence over your opportunity foradvancement.

Involve the students in a discussion of how this activity relates to the skill that you will bepresenting.
2. Introduce the Skill:
Teamwork is a part of everyday life. Teams are formed naturally when we come up againsttasks that are bigger or more difficult than we can easily do alone.
Every team member is important. Being a good team member doesn't mean that you have tobe a star or a hot-shot. It does mean that you do the best that you can.
Teams function best when every member is shown respect. Being a good team membermeans respecting other people's ideas and feelings. It means letting each member contributewhat he or she can.
When you are a member of a team you may have to make compromises and agree to ideas orgoals that are not your first choice. A strong team works toward a common goal.
Almost every job depends on teamwork. Your employer will expect you to support andwork toward the goals of the company.
Working together can make any job easier.
