  1. February 22, 2019 Bell Ringer What do you want for your career? (This is a repeat question, but has it been modified throughout the year?)

  2. Planning for the Future • When thinking about their futures, young adults often envision great wealth and success. Turning dreams into reality, however, is no easy feat. • In this lesson, we look at job openings, career descriptions and skills needed to enter your dream professions. We examine concepts of passion and profit by reading success stories from experienced selfstarters, and consider your own true calling. Finally, we analyze qualifications, salaries and education linked to career goals, and then write realistic resumes to demonstrate their understanding.

  3. Exploring Career Goals • What do you enjoy doing? How might you make a living in relation to these interests? • What kinds of jobs do the people in your life have? Are you interested in following similar career paths? • Complete the sentence, “My ideal career is… because…” in their notebooks. Talk with a partner about your dream jobs and then we will share his or her partner’s ideal career with the class.

  4. Exploring Career Goals • Think about what you would need to do in order to get your dream jobs (do you need a college degree or specific work experiences?) • Then, let’s brainstorm a list of possible sources for information on what employers want.

  5. Challenge • Research the ideal career for you and another student by searching job openings and descriptions using websites such as usajobs.gov and jobdescriptions.net.

  6. Your Resume • Let’s look at and discuss the basic information, structure and purpose of a resume as a class. • Different jobs may require different information on a resume; employers use resumes to evaluate potential candidates for a job. • Employers will look at more than resumes; they will often conduct Internet searches, and explore social media pages to observe potential candidates’ online interactions. • Your online presence is equally as important as writing a professional resume.

  7. Assignment • Make a sample resume. This does not need to be done on professional paper. It can be done on notebook paper. The important part is to include the pieces that show your strengths.
