CANNES, France (Reuters) – In a bumper year for U.S. productions in Cannes, director John Hillcoat, presenting prohibition-era drama “Lawless” at the film festival on Saturday, said the state of smaller-budget American movies was “distressing”. Lawless is in fact an international production – Hillcoat and two of his leading cast are Australian, as is scriptwriter and musician Nick Cave. But the 1930s tale of three bootlegging brothers in Virginia also features leading U.S. actors Jessica Chastain and Shia LaBeouf and is backed by the Weinstein Company. It is one of five U.S. …

Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul on Tough Stuff: Stories of Tough Times and Lessons Learned (Chicken Soup for the Soul)
This latest offering in the best-selling Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul series explores a host of challenges faced by today’s teens. Within its pages teens will find portraits of life’s complexities expressed from the viewpoint of their peers. Teen contributors share their thoughts and feelings on difficult issues, ranging from poor self-image to thoughts of suicide, from family discord to coping with the loss, from peer pressure to school violence.
Teens ranked stress as one of their top concerns (along with child abuse and STDs). Oftentimes, the pressure can feel overwhelming, whether they involve worrying about an upcoming test, competition sports, family responsibilities, dating, or more extreme issues such as depression, suicide and school violence.
The first three volumes of the Teenage Soul series and the companion journal illustrate the ongoing popularity of this series (unit sales exceed 11 million). Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul on Tough Stuff and the Spring 2001 release Teenage Soul Letters will undoubtedly follow suit as the next best-sellers in a phenomenally popular series.

Davis, CA (PRWEB) October 29, 2005
An increase in the number of teens and college graduates who are seeking jobs are bringing tough times in the employment arena. Move over baby boomers – now your children are seeking jobs.
Today’s young generation of job seekers face real challenges. Over 1.3 million teens are currently unemployed and seeking work. Besides the normal challenges met by every job seeker, such as preparedness and qualifications, other factors are putting a damper on young career dreams. With a cut in government and federal job programs, outsourcing at its peak, frequent lay-offs, immigrant job placements, and more retirees re-entering the work force, job resources are becoming limited.
“…Teen employment – at 36.7 percent this summer – is at its lowest since 1948, when researchers started gathering that data, according to the Center for Labor Market Studies at Northeastern University in Boston,” according to Newsday.com (September 16, 2005).
Barbara Dwyer, CEO of The Job Journey, LLC, recently developed an innovative job program called “The Job Journey” that is helping teens and young adults secure the career of their dreams. Dwyer spent 25 years as a Human Resource Executive and has seen first-hand the needs of young career seekers.
She states, “Teens and young adults born between 1979 and 2000, a.k.a. Generation Y (Gen Y’ers), are entering the job market with an entirely different perspective than their parents, the ‘baby boomers’. Gen Y’ers have grown up in a world where technology and modern conveniences have matured. The dilemma of “career versus family” is also a focus for Gen Y’ers as more home schoolers and at-home college graduates enter the job world. Every young job seeker will need guidance to be able to close the generation gap during interviews.”
The Job Journey program has been taught by Dwyer in California high schools, but is now available online to students all over the United States. The program shows career seekers how to use proper business-style vocabulary to build rapport, establish strong goals, identify companies that can help them reach their goals, negotiate a higher salary, and create a professional image.
Leaders in the business world have praised the program, and many think the program will dramatically improve the interview process.
“Out of the thousands I’ve interviewed, I certainly wish my candidates had gone through The Job Journey,” states Shana Nelson, Store Team Leader, Target Corporation.
The Job Journey is equipping career seekers with the tools and skills they need as they face a difficult job world.
