Today:
1) You were given time to keep working on any POP work you wanted to.
2) You also explored http://www.careercruising.com/ some more.
3) You were asked to write a quickwrite:
IF YOU UNDERSTAND THE QUICKWRITE - SKIP TO NUMBER 4 BELOW...
Thinking about your career explorations online and job shadowing, what has that shown you about each career and yourself? For each career, you set out a purpose. You set goals. You expected to learn something about each career, and about yourself. What are you learning? Be honest.
Some of you may be answering yes - I want to explore this career more becuase..., I want to explore careers in this family more because..., I am finding I am suitable for these careers because...
Some of you may be answering no way - I do not like these careers because... what I expected was not how it really was because..., I thought I would be right for the career but I am having doubts because...
Some of you may be answering I am still not sure - I need to learn more..., I want to explore another career because..., I want to learn...
Wherever you are, it's normal and you're on the right track. What matters is how you justify your choices. You do not have to pick your life career.
4) Keeping those things in mind, you will be set up with a live mentor in December. Your mentor will be your "go-to" person for the year who works in the career family you are interested in. You will communicate through e-mail with your mentor using a program called Academos. More information TBA.
