PART 1
Title: Interviewing/Securing a Job
Goal Statement: Students will discuss important skills that are often overlooked with job-seeking/interviewing.
ASCA Mindsets & Behaviors Standard (s): M 6. Positive attitude toward work and learning. B-LS 5. Apply media and technology skills. B-SMS 10. Demonstrate ability to manage transitions and ability to adapt to changing situations and responsibilities. B-SS 1. Use effective oral and written communication skills and listening skills.
Procedures:
Lead a quick discussion with students asking the following questions:
What are some good ways to find job leads? (through contacts/people you know, on-line, stop in to places and ask)
After applying, what is a good next step if you haven't heard anything? (reach out by phone or e-mail)
Why might an employer have trouble reaching you? (a BIG one could be you don't have voicemail set up - they may not e-mail you, depending on the business/stores/etc.)
2. What are some other reasons it makes sense to set up your voicemail now that you are getting older/looking for work? (many employers don't text work-related information, doctor's offices will not text, is professional courtesy, etc.)
3. Encourage students to set up voicemail. Many people have lost opportunities because they've missed calls.

Using the totals, take the 3 letters with the highest totals to create your interest code.
Using your interest codes, look at the back side of the page to determine which careers you are interested in.
List your top five interests at the bottom of the page. If you don’t write in any careers, we will choose for you. Also, please do not write careers that are impossible to locate (rapper, sniper, assassin, You Tube channel host, etc.).
