Evidence of Research You need to include job information that you looked up. This should included: –Job description –Duties and responsibilities –Qualifications –Entry level positions –Advancement opportunities –Job outlook and salary

Experience in the real world Basically, you need to get in contact with someone who has the job you are researching (or a similar job) and then write about it. You can interview them, observe them while they work, go to a business and casually ask some questions, talk with friends or family, etc. DO NOT BE WEIRD! All you have to do is ask someone about their job, it’s really easy!

Sample School Work You are going to pick an assignment from Ms. Finney, Ms. Walton or this class that you have completed and did a good job on. Then you are going to write about the assignment and how it pertains to the job you want.

Use of FCS Coursework You need to relate your career to SOMETHING we have talked about in here. (Or Ms. Finney or Walton’s classes) Remember, we talked about work ethic, fringe benefits, various job skills and how jobs impact your lifestyle!!

Career Planning You are going to make at least 2 career goals and a plan to make them happen. Your plan needs to include things you did or could do in high school and what you plan on doing to complete the goals. Activities, programs and clubs you did or could join should be included.
