  4. How Are You Going to Afford This? • Discussion: • Where do you go to search for jobs? How do you know if you are qualified? What options are open to you when trying to find a place to work? • What is a resume? What is the purpose of a resume? • What is a cover letter? Why is it so important to compose one of these? How do you make yourself stand out amongst all other applicants?

  5. Finding a Job: What Options Do You Have? • Homework: • Look through newspapers, online postings, and company websites for jobs that you could get right now. • Find one-two job postings/websites and print them out. • Guidelines: • Job must meet your age and experience qualifications. • Company must have a name and website (check this out before printing anything). • Try to find postings that are detailed and are looking for specific types of people.
