2.    Periods 1, 2 and 3 are going back to the tab "Exploration", then "Interest Profiler".  You should have answered all 180 questions to the best of your ability and then copy and paste the screen(s) (whole thing will not fit on one page) into a document you created named "LastName_Interest_Profiler".  Click on the top "Interest" and choose three jobs that you feel would fit you and copy them below the Interest Profile snapshot.  Finish explaining, in two paragraphs, why this "Interest" fits you and why you feel these jobs are within your realm.

3.  Log into CIS again.  Today we will explore what it will take to live on a fixed budget.  To do this, we will be looking at "Reality Check" which is under the "Occupations" tab.  Please screen shot the result, copy and paste into a new doc entitled "Your name_Reality_Check".  We will explore this later as we define the occupation you wish to achieve and what the resulting pay will be.  The occupation will be defined by all of the surveys you took!

4. You need to know the vocabulary.  Budget Vocabulary Flashcard Practice
There will be a test on this next week....


  • 5.   Do the Meyer's Briggs survey. Copy and paste your results into a Google document: Create a doc and label it: FullName_MeyersBriggs.  We will be further exploring this in more detail later.


6.  Copy the jobs from the "Character" survey into the "My_Jobs" document.  That will now create a document that will encompass 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.  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.
