[Workplace] Workplace culture materials

Hi, everyone. Our ESOL instructors have asked for a discussion of
materials that will prepare learners for the workplace, by discussing or
presenting American interviewing and workplace culture. But, help! My
research has led me to several older (1995 and later) items in ERIC, but
no learner materials or projects or whatever. Is anyone using any texts
or curricula that focuses in on or includes this? I thought I'd find
some ESOL websites that would be helpful, but my searching genie has
left me high and dry. Specific items that have been mentioned by
instructors are: use of small talk, asking clarifying questions, body
language and gestures, appropriate attire.
Thanks for the assist!
