Learning Targets: ​Students will --​ Identify work and education experience that is related to work world. ​Identify one strong career potential as your resume objective based upon your research. Know the five parts to a resume- personal information, job objective, education, work history and skills.

All Classes 1) Create a document entitled "Name_Mock Interview Questions".   Mock Interviews are just around the corner.  In order to do as well as you can, it is always important to prepare and practice.  To this end, answer the following questions using complete sentences.  These will be some of the same questions asked of you during the Mock Interview, so it is imperative that you think about how you will answer these questions in a thoughtful, business like way.  Always be positive, never make excuses, explain how you are working on your weaknesses (and you should be), and give specific measurable results for your skills. 9. Do you have anything you would like to ask me? You should have 1 or 2 questions ready. 10. If you were stranded on an island with just one book, which one would it be and why? 11. What extracurricular activities are you involved in at school? If not, what are you involved in after school? 12. If someone were to hire you today, what would you bring to the job? 13. What will you be doing five years from now?  Ten years from now?  Twenty years  from now? 14. What are your goals for the short-term (0-3 months), intermediate (3 months-1 or 2  years), and long-term future (longer than 1 or 2 years)? 15. What type of career are you thinking about pursuing and why? 16. What have been your most beneficial classes in school so far?  Why?  2) Watch "Get a Job Interview and Resumes" 3)  Download the Resume Template you previously worked on and finish it today.  Upload the resume at the end of the class period. 4)  Hand in the finished copy of the resume with the grading sheet.  Both you and another student will put your names on the top and grade it.  I will be looking these over this weekend and the more work I have to do to correct the resume to make it acceptable the less of a grade I will award. 5)  Applying for admission to Mount Hood Community College for "College Now".  You need to use your personal email as a David Douglas HS email will not allow for outside the DDSD emails to come through and that means that you will not get your student id number to register for the class in two weeks.  This is done at this site:  Mt Hood CC DO THIS WHEN YOU FINISH EARLY:  work on any incomplete work first, then your final project. When working on the final project, refer to the slide tutorial we have been following. NEW LINK: FINAL PROJECT 2016  Resume Packet: My Work History Worksheet &                               My Education Worksheet                               Resume Template                                  CIS Skills Worksheet Revised                               My Skills and One-liners/Resume Workbook                               Resume Scoring Guide                               Handwritten Resume Draft
