I am required to approve your work before it's submitted to the Career Center. Their deadline is Oct. 15th, but their message is "the sooner the better." But I won't "approve" if it is not worthy of a high-school senior representing Issaquah High School to the community. Be warned.
1. Unless you are going straight into the job market full-time after graduation, your resume should be academically-oriented as complete as possible re: education data, school and extra-curricular activities (with substantial lists appropriately sub-divided, and leadership roles clearly set forth), volunteer experience, work experience, and outside interests). Format in a eye-pleasing and professional manner, and PROOFREAD carefully.
2. Your typed-out response to Question #1 should be 250-350 words, and must address all parts of the question:
- Summarize your preparation for your education and career goals. what further steps must you take to achieve your goals? Describe yow your plans relate to your skills, strengths, interests, and values. Include a realistic financial plan for achieving your goals.
Some final words re: the application process (particularly the new pooling policy for the UW), and then "Miss Brill" close-reading questions. And some responses/discussion. But mostly questions. . . By the end of class, 1st and 3rd had just gotten to the paragraph beginning "Two young girls in red . . "; 6th period didn't even get that far (we are at "The old people sat on the bench, still as statues").
FOR TOMORROW
1) You must show up with the typed-out prospectus. I will collect them when the bell rings. If they are not available to collect at that time, they will not count as completed for points. However, no essay draft will count until your prospectus is approved. So you might as well be prepared and receive the points.
2) You were told on Friday's hand-out to have "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall " (p. 76 ff.) read for Tuesday. Well, today we didn't get to it. But have it read for sure for Wednesday.
3) Yes. We will finish "Miss Brill."
