45th CLASS - GROUP 01 - JOB SHADOW FOLLOW UP, REFLECTION, AND NEW CAREER LES

Today:
1) 10 questions and assignments from last class were handed in.
2) A written reflection was handed in
3) We began a new LES designed to throw you outside of your comfort level. It is about careers you would not think you would be good at, you would not be interested in, and could not see yourself doing... odd to ask that of you, yes... but there is a purpose to it.
4) So, you should have the basic essentials done of 1 of the 3 careers you chose - similar to before - using http://www.careercruising.com/ - in your own words, the most important information about job description, earnings, education, sample career paths, related careers, advice from the videorecorded people.
That information should be completed for next class - if you missed class, see your go-to person or me... this can be caught up in the computer lab - it will be collected at the beginning of class on Thursday, March 18 (Day 8).

We will have a series of workshops the next few classes:
Thursday, March 18 - Success
Wednesday, March 24 - Budgeting
Thursday, March 29 - Another CV Format that will be good to reinforce what you know about your skills and abilities
Wednesday, March 31 - Career Planning
