This article provides a description of a seminar designed to teach job‐finding skills to senior agriculture students through the use of a behaviorally based textbook, practice in job‐seeking skills, and corrective performance feedback. Comparisons of student competencies in job‐finding skills showed that posttraining performance levels were higher than pretraining levels, thus the seminar was an effective approach to helping graduates locate and obtain employment.
