Tuesday & Wednesday, October 10 & 11, 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.   First, we will watch a video recommended by the counseling department:  CEOs Share Career Advice and Opportunities

2.    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 be done using CIS from the information on your specific job.
You will further do a handout:  Career Research WS

3.  Make sure you created a doc called Skills_Venn_Diagram and label both sides.  On the left side it should be labeled "My Skills" and the right side the job you are comparing it with.  Insert the  object/circles and go from there.

3.   We may do a Careers Analysis for your career.

4.   Today or next period, depending on time, we will explore what it will take to live on a fixed budget.
We may start the "Will My Job Support Me?" Follow the slide tutorial found in: a.k.a  Salary Based Budgeting
Complete a monthly budget for a minimum wage earner. You will select one of the following jobs and look up the beginning annual wage on slide 3/Step 2 of the tutorial: waiter/waitress/dishwasher; lawn mower, babysitter/ child care worker, barista, retail clerk, gas station attendant, laborer.

Go to the last slide and do the "Reflection". Your choice of career in this case was made for you....a minimum wage job at $11.25!


Pre-test for Resumes.

Continuing:

Handout on "Uncover your Skills, Abilities, and Special Talents".  This will be used in conjunction with your resume.
