Careers+Info+Activity

20 June 2011
==We will be spending the next 2 weeks working our way through reading and writing activities which revolve around the theme of CAREERS. You will be learning new research skills and extending your knowledge of possible employment options. ==

Welcome to CareersNZ the website you will be using to help you decide the jobs that may be of interest to you in the future. You will need to register so that you can log in.

The first activity you need to do is to complete the First time questions. This will take you about 10-20 minutes. When you have completed this Careerquest will provide you with a list of jobs that match your interests. You then need to choose the 3 jobs from the list that interest you the most. Research these jobs and make a PMI sheet for each (Plus, Minus, Interesting). Select your favourite job and justify why it is your favourite.



Create a CV for yourself online.

Find an advertisement in a newspaper or on Trade Me and write an application letter for that job. You will need a copy of your CV and your application letter just as if you were really applying for the position.

We will make a display of all of these things - PMI, application letter, CV's, plus any other information you may have collected.
