CAREER EXPLORATIONS 8:

The work that was posted on Friday, May 22, is the work for the last TWO weeks of Career Explorations. There are THREE required assignments. I highly recommend following them in order because each step builds on the previous one.

Required Assignment #1: Read the article about resume writing. When you are done, answer the questions that follow on the Google Form. You only have the opportunity to submit once. You MAY use the article to help you answer the questions.

Required Assignment #2: Fill out the resume planning sheet. Turn in when you have completed it. I have included a copy of my completed planning sheet for you as an example.

Required Assignment #3: Using the information from your prep sheet in Step #2, complete the fill-in-the-blank resume. Whatever is in box number on your prep sheet will go in entry number one on your resume. I have included a completed resume using the information I provided on my prep sheet as an example. Don't forget to turn in your resume when you have finished.

ALL Career Explorations work is due by June 3.

If you are confused, be sure to watch the video I have posted with this as well. Please utilize office hours as well!x
