1.  Watch "Your Career Search:  Taking the first Step".  This is for your information only and will not be associated with a worksheet!

2.   We return to "My_Jobs" document.  .  I want to see one specific occupation and two backups!  For the specific job, I want you to write at minimum of one paragraph as to why you chose that occupation.  Three paragraphs might get you an "A"!  Look at the quick view of that occupation in CIS to see the pay, outlook, numbers, etc.  Remember, the amount of pay is "median" and not top or low.

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!!!!

Look at "Order by Cluster" if you need to back up and look at more general terms for grouping.
Three other copies today:  Filter, Sort and Combined Report.  Will do together....

2.    Exploration of Specific Occupations 
Finish up this section today!  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.

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.  Skills for the Job PowerPoint.

4.   Use this document to help with ideas for the Exploration of Specific Occupations five paragraphs.  Careers Analysis for your career.

5.   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!


Continuing:

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

4.  Probably will not get to the Skills for the Job PowerPoint.
5. Finally, we will be creating a Venn Diagram using the Skills you came up with in your skills selection and then you will do an "OCC" select to get the skills of the job you selected.  You will look at the top 15 skills and do a Venn Diagram based on those selections.

Create a doc called Skills_Venn_Diagram and create it in there by inserting and object/circle and we will go from there.
