The Large Hadron Collider at CERN currently provides p+p collisions at
center of mass energies of s​=7~TeV, which allow to study high \pT
particle production and jet properties in a new energy regime. For a clear
interpretation and the quantification of the medium influence in heavy-ion
collisions on high \pT observables a detailed understanding of these
elementary reactions is essential. We present first results on the observation
of jet-like properties with the ALICE experiment and discuss the performance of
jet reconstruction in the first year of data taking.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures, to appear in the proceedings of WISH 2010
