RESEARCH = BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!
Today you took your last vocabulary test before Spring Break!
Next I passed out the revised version of the Career Paper Assignment Sheet. The can also be found on our Edline page as I cannot attach word documents to this blog page. Tentatively the reports will be due April 15th (the day before Spring Break). Until then we will be hard at work on them.
We had a conversation after your test about "good" interview questions and "bad" interview questions. Please adhere to the stipulations set forth on the Career Paper Assignment Sheet.
Here is the overhead we discussed. And you can of course write your own questions. Keep in mind the 5 questions you ask MUST RELATE TO UNDERSTANDING YOUR CAREER BETTER. Stay away from trivial questions
It all depends on…
what you want to know?
More about earnings:
- It is NOT POLITE to ask a person’s salary directly.
More about schooling/training needed:
- Where did you attend school?
- What was your favorite class?
- What class most helped you hone your skills in becoming _____?
- What was college like?
More about the job:
- What is your day-to-day like being a _______?
- Describe a day going to work from start to finish.
- What responsibilities do you have at work?
Overall:
- What is one of your greatest accomplishments?
- What is one of things you are most proud of doing as a ______?
- If you could have done one thing different in high school, what would it be?
- What career would you have chosen if you were not a _____? Why?
Homework:
