OVERVIEW OF UNIT PLAN

 

 

CULMINATING TASK

Students will be required to research and interview for a job position. In researching job opportunities, the students have come across some definite job possibilities.  The students will then be responsible for creating an employment packet.

 

The employment packet will consist of a:

  • Cover letter
  • Resume
  • Completed job application
  • List of questions to ask the employer
  • List of commonly asked  interview questions and your answers

 

After creation of the employment packet, students will be interviewed by a representative of the company they chose for potential employment. Students need to have all of their package with them at the time of the interviews. Once the top students have been selected based on professional dress; organization of resume and cover letter; and professionalism within the interview, there will be an award ceremony. The company representatives will award the top choices for employment with a certificate and a small prize.
