Work Experience, Paper Resumes "are dead" but overdue, ONLINE Resume...

1) Guest Speaker - Kelley Giorgianni from the Work Experience Office. She can help you to get a job and so much more...

2) Paper Resumes!? Overdue.

I have resumes from: Laine, Chance, Nic, Taylor, Leann, Jake C, Andrew, Natasha, Gillian, Lisa, Janey
(I feel like I am missing someone...)
The rest of you are behind schedule. Go get er done! One day I might be your potential employer or reference. Why should I hire you? Why should I say you are good for a job? Show me your work ethic.
“My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition. ”

Indira Gandhi  (1917-1984);
Prime Minister of India

3) Create and Control your Online Presence

• Start by cleaning up your FB. See what your page looks like when you are not logged in. Did you know your profile pic and your cover image are public domain (which means anyone can see them)? Avoid using drug/alcohol/otherwise-offensive-to-a-potential-employer imagery. If you don't know how to tighten up your privacy, please just ask for help. I'll show you. 
• Make something awesome that represents the very best version of you online - Weebly (see Kelley's example: http://kelleygiorgianni.weebly.com/)  LinkedIn, Video, even a CLEAN twitter account where you follow positive culture and post positive links. Or even a YouTube channel where you share positive vids...Etc... Due on Thursday!

4) Don't forget about the bonus marks for super duper designing your resume. See link below.

Welcome Back! Resumes begin...

1) Who has not finished their Hot Job Presentation? Present on Thursday! No more excuses.

2) Finish the documentary, One Week Job. And his little TED Talk too...


3) Discussion 

• What can we learn from his journey? You are still in high school... but it will only be a couple of years and then you be out in the world. 
• What do we need to be like (what personal qualities)in order to be out in the world in a productive, fulfilling way?

4) It's time to create a more beautiful resume...

• How does this all relate to resume building?
• How many of you already have a resume? Is it boring? Why?
• My experience sifting through resumes at Chapters in Victoria.
• Resume tips - slides: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2_H3hKK6a0zRzMwTDJURHRxd0k/edit?usp=sharing

You really have to know what you are good at, and make it sound grandiosely better than the average cat...

You are going to create TWO resumes in this class. The standard paper one (see examples here: http://jobsearch.about.com/od/sampleresume1/a/high-school-resume-examples.htm) and on online reume too!
