Tuesday & Wednesday, Feb 28 & March 1, 2017

Dear Class:

Learning Targets:
​Students will --​

1.       Identify work and education experience that is related to work world.

2.       ​Identify one strong career potential as your resume objective based upon your research.

3.       Know the five parts to a resume- personal information, job objective, education, work history and skills. 

Know career terms: job, occupation, cluster career, career learning areas

Career Vocabulary:

​JOB — A unique work situation or position, paid or unpaid. Activities performed on a regular basis in exchange for payment.

OCCUPATION — A group of related jobs that have similar duties, levels of responsibility, skills, knowledge, and physical demands. CIS uses about 600 occupational titles to describe the labor market.

CLUSTER — A way to group occupations by some common feature. Oregon uses 23 clusters to group occupations into five broad categories called Career Learning Areas.
​Career Learning Areas can help you focus on skills and knowledge related to your career goals and education plans.

CAREER — The combination of learning and work that a person pursues during his or her life.

1.  Freewrite #9.   Get out a piece of paper and do the vocabulary.  Thanks!  Hand in....

2.  Please open CIS and go to the Occupations Tab. Occupations Filter and Occupations Sort under the Occupations tab in CIS.  We will do those today.  Make sure you copy and paste the results!  Name a document:  Occupations_Sort_Filter

3.  Create a doc called "My_Job"  We will be taking a screen shot of the comparisons in the three areas:  Skills/Work Importance Locator/Interest Profiler.  Then we will get the jobs from the Meyers Briggs section.


Previously we copied the jobs from the "Character" survey into the "My_Jobs" document.  That will now create a document that encompasses Interest Profiler/Importance Locator/Skills/Meyers Briggs/Character. We will be choosing an "Occupation" from that group of job lists.  Label each as you copy and paste them in.

In CIS, go to the "Portfolio" and do a "Comparison".  Copy and paste all the "three" and "two" checks into the "My_Jobs".  Then, put a check for each job you like.  Save  your jobs and then go to the "Portfolio" and "Favorites".  Take a snapshot. If you only have 1 checks, then still take a screenshot but you do not have to crop it down. 

Go to  CIS and look at the descriptions of the occupations you might be interested in and any jobs you don't know what they do.  I want to see you working on it!!!!

This is exploratory on your side.  I want to see you looking at jobs.  Things happen...your life changes.  I want to see one specific occupation and three backups!  For the specific job, I want you to write at minimum of a paragraph as to why you chose that occupation.  Look at the quick view of that occupation in CIS to see the pay, outlook, numbers, etc.

Save all the occupations you are interested in by checking them on the left side.   Also, look at all the jobs in "Occupations" that you might also be interested in and "Save" at the top if it is a job you may be interested in.  Go to "Portfolio", "Favorites" and take a snapshot of your final choices.  The top 4-6 will be the basis of your final examination of the job you choose to write your resume around...

Look at "Order by Cluster" if you need to back up and look at more general terms for grouping.

Finally, on your own:

4.  Exploration of Specific Occupations
Open and make a copy to answer.  You need to be logged into your gmail account for this to occur.  This will focus on the jobs you chose.
