1 Welcome to Unit 9 CS113 Career Action Plan We are in our 9 th week. I’m proud of all of you for working so diligently on your goal. Are there any questions from Unit 8 you need clarification on before we begin with Unit 9? Please summarize in your own words at least one thing you learned from Unit 8 (Career Connections). Instructor overview and comments.

Career Action Plan Unit 9 – CS113 Reading-Kali. Life lesson; by Oprah Winfrey. Reading-GPS Road Map for Career Action Plan project using skills from CS113 course work. Discussion-Explain why a Career Action Plan will be useful to you as you continue to plan and prepare for your career. Why might you need to revise your plan from time to time? Assignment-Career Action Plan. Seminar Case Study on Wanda. 2

Unit 9 Objectives Understand the importance of “Career Action Planning.” Complete the Unit 9 Career Action Plan Assignment. When saving the file, don’t forget to save as; YourName- CS113-Unit 9 project. Cite your class reading. Demonstrate you read the Unit material. 3

Unit 9 To-do-list Read the Unit-Overview & PDF reading Respond to the Discussion Attend Seminar Complete the Assignment Preview the Unit 10 Writing Assignment 4

5 Motivation “A great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.” ~ Walter Gagehot “The secret of achievement is to hold a picture of a successful outcome in the mind.” ~Henry David Thoreau

Unit 8 Review What did you find at Kaplan’s Career Service? 6

Cover Letter (Review Unit 8) What demonstrates a successful tailored cover letter accompanying your resume? 7

Interview (Review Unit 8) During a job interview, if you were asked “What distinguishes you from the other candidates with the same skill?,” how would you respond? 8

Interview (Review Unit 8) If you developed a “User’s Manual” all about you, what one item would you include in it? 9

Job Offer (Review Unit 8) What are some of the reasons why an employer never offers you a job? 10

20 avoidable job search mistakes 81&_sitecat=1133&dcatid=0&eetype=article&render=y&ac=- 2&ck=&ch=ca&_lid=1000&_lnm=careers.expertadvice.careerbuilder.ar ticles 81&_sitecat=1133&dcatid=0&eetype=article&render=y&ac=- 2&ck=&ch=ca&_lid=1000&_lnm=careers.expertadvice.careerbuilder.ar ticles A few of my favorites from the site…“Use a professional address.” What would be an example of an address NOT to use? “Make sure you can answer these three key questions: Why are you in the job market? Tell me about yourself. What are you looking to do next?” The site suggests you join your local Chamber of Commerce and having a LinkedIn profile.” Reference: AT&T.net, 20 avoidable job search mistakes, 2010, Rachel Farrell, CareerBuilder.com 11

12 General Questions

More on Critical Thinking Skills These questions are designed to test your critical thinking skills and wit… 1. A man carefully pointed his car due east and then drove for two miles. He was then two miles west of where he started from. Why? 2. A woman unwrapped a lump of sugar and put it into her coffee, but the sugar did not get wet. Why? 3. Why is it that Beethoven never finished the “Unfinished Symphony?” 4. What is the invention, first discovered in ancient times, that allows people to see through solid walls? 13

Critical Thinking-Discussion Think about how well you did on the questions on the previous slide. Think about your reaction when you heard the correct answer to each question. Why is it important to examine information closely during the critical thinking problem- solving process? 14

15 Reminders No late work accepted after Sunday, January 23rd. I submit my grades to Kaplan at the conclusion of the class and will not have access to the grade-book soon after. Try to submit your Unit 9 Assignment/Project a few days early to avoid any complications. If there is a technical problem or you accidentally submitted the wrong Project (happens all the time), you will have time to correct it. Don’t procrastinate! Your passing grade might depend on it. On the Career Action form use complete sentences and include your introduction and conclusion. Remember, we are writing at college level (Five sentences does not meet above-average work.). Do not forget to reference class Unit reading. Example: (KU Course, CS113, Unit #, 1002B). Make sure you have the reference page included.

Looking forward to Unit 10 Unit 9 (today) is our last audio Seminar together! Unit 10 does NOT have a Seminar. I found the class Unit discussions have been very rewarding! Thank you for sharing and all your insights. I encourage you all to continue with your future goals. Perhaps our paths will cross again, someday. It has been a pleasure for me and I wish only the best for each and every one of you. Good luck in your future endeavors! 16

17 Unit 9 Preview Self Assessment (chart below taken from CS113-Unit 9.)

18 Case Study on Wanda Who would like to volunteer to give a short synopsis on Wanda before we start with the case study questions?

19 Wanda

Case Study of Wanda How is Wanda setting herself up for success? 20

21 Case Study on Wanda What kinds of questions might Wanda have for her Advisor?

Case Study on Wanda How might Wanda’s Career Action Plan help her as she makes plans for her next term? 22

Unit 9 assignment (Time for Action) After reviewing your Interview with a Professional, discuss how you will make use of some of the information you gained from the interview as you continue to prepare for your own career. Action Plan = Where would you like to be in your career future? How will you get there? Demonstrate your understanding of career action planning and goal-setting by describing one short-term and one long-term goal you have for your professional future. Refer back to class reading. 23

Unit 9 Discussion Explain why a career action plan will be useful to you as you continue to plan and prepare for your career. 24

25 Again, looking ahead: Unit 10 Please continue to read and class announcements during Unit 10! It is NOT my fault if you miss valuable information from me. I will still hold office hours on AIM during Unit 10. No Seminar in Unit 10. Unit 10 DOES HAVE AN ASSIGNMENT No class work will be accepted after Sunday, January 23rd. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Unit 10 (Moving Forward) Discussion = Student Farewell Assignment = After reflecting on what you have learned and how you have benefited by taking CS113 Academic Strategies for the Business Professional, write a minimum one page response to the questions below: 1.Reflect and describe which key concepts and topics in this course have made you a stronger candidate to enter the business world. 2. Discuss how this course has affected you in your professional development, as a student and as a person, as well as how it has encouraged you on your academic path. 3.Write introductions, conclusions and CITE your sources from class reading, supporting your OWN views. 26

27 Class Exercise I would like to try another class exercise with a “twist” on it. I need one volunteer. Are you up to the challenge? Is anyone daring and interested in volunteering without knowing the details? Just raise your hand to volunteer by typing //…

28 Class Exercise (continued)… I want my one volunteer to think of one name of a well-known person. (Do not tell us yet). The person may be living or dead and can have achieved celebrity status in any field (business, technology, sports, entertainment, politics, arts and literature, science, medicine, etc.). The rest of the class is the guessing team. The guessing team will be timed for 3 minutes to come up with whom the famous person is. The Volunteer must use their keyboard to help the receivers. The Volunteer can use words, visual icons symbols, or anything that will help the class guess. But the Volunteer can NOT type ANY part of the person’s name. The guessing class asks as many questions as possible (using assumptions, critical thinking, scientific method, or problem solving skills) to come up with the correct answer. Volunteer: Let us know when you are ready by typing “ready” and I’ll start the time.

29 Discussion on Seminar exercise. How did the time limit, teamwork atmosphere, or speed of the typing affect your ability to participate?

Reflection I am glad I was a part of your success during this class. I watched each and every one of you grow (especially when referring back to class work)! You all will be pro’s when it comes to writing your college thesis. I hope I get to personally meet you when you walk across the stage and graduate. I look forward to shaking your hand and patting you on the back for a job well done and well deserved. Best to you all. 30

31 Any General Questions? Seminar is coming to an end, soon. Let’s wrap-up the evening.

32 Seminar Concluded Good night. Have a great week! Thank you again for giving me the opportunity to share the learning floor with you. My office hours on AIM are posted on our class syllabus. My AIM ID is: DrDenhard. THE END…
