Friday & Monday, February 24 & 27, 2017

Dear Class:

• Know the acronym PACE, the purpose of this class,  and how it will benefit them. 
• Know how to navigate the class website to complete class work.
• Understand the value of self-assessments
• Narrow your career/occupation to four possibilities...one specifically for resume

1.   We will be watching:


   FREEWRITE/WARMUP:  Randy Pausch Interview

• Instructions: Read through the statements on the handout before watching the video.
• Complete the Google Doc "Randy Pausch Lecture" as you watch the video.
• Write in complete thoughts as your note-taking strategy
• TURN IN THE GOOGLE DOC AT THE END OF THE VIDEO/PERIOD BY MAKING SURE IT IS IN YOUR FOLDER!  MAKE A COPY AND FILL IN.

2.  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.

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.

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