The Getting Ready for Your Next Job Inventory (YNJ)

Thank you for taking an interest in our Your Next Job (YNJ) inventory! The YNJ is a needs assessment tool for job seekers. It can be used by a job seeker as a self-help assessment, or by a counselor or agency helping job seekers to find work.

Please view links on left menu bar to review citation permissions and to download the YNJ job search inventory (both pdf and MSWord documents are available free of charge).
