Feb 8 Career Management

Learning Goal: Finish Career Project Number 1 and Start Career Project Number 2

Bell Ringer:
1. Students will get out their yellow/brown review handout.
2. Open new PowerPoint for Career Project.

Miss W will discuss the difference between jobs and careers.

"A job is work that people do for pay. The work usually consists of certain tasks. Often a job is a position with a company. Sometimes jobs lead to careers." Your first summer job is usually a job. You are working in an entry level position at a fast food place, delivering papers, mowing grass or working as a salesperson in a store.

"A career is a series of related jobs built on a foundation of interest, knowledge, training, and experience. As you gain experience you find more challenging and better paying work with each new job." from Succeeding in the world of work.
