Some reminders and new assignments

Hey Gang,

Hope your work experiences are going well and giving you growth and personal satisfaction. Its hard to believe we are over one fourth of the way through this school year.

Just a reminder:

• The $20.00 co-op fee is now due. Checks can be written to Keystone Central School District or KCSD. You'll receive a receipt. Bring your check or cash to the guidance office.
• Remember to turn in your signed time sheets.

• Stop by to pick up your critiqued assignments and checked time sheets.

Your assignments for second marking period and due dates are:

• Your resume- this is due in my office or through attached email by December 16, 2010

This will give me time to critique it and give it back to you to make improvements before I finalize your grade for it. I know some of you have expressed concern about this assignment. Revisit the "work experience portfolio" power point and come in to see me. As always, I am available as a resource for you. If I'm not in my office, leave me a message and I'll get back to you. This assignment is worth- 100 points.

• Your cover letter- this is due by January 12, 2010.
  

This is not on the power point, but I have information in my office for you. Stop by and pick up this information. The main purpose for a cover letter is to acquaint the prospective employer with your unique talents, experiences, skills and to request an interview to discuss employment possibilities. The cover letter should highlight your resume. When turning in a resume to an employer your submit your cover letter at the same time.
This assignment is worth- 50 points.

Remember to check this blog weekly.

Hope you are enjoying this beautiful November weather.
