We are getting close to wrapping up our careers unit.  Today we are starting class with a quiz on employment standards...YAY!!  Then we are going over occupational health and safety and looking at your rights and responsibilities.  We will be looking at the act (http://work.alberta.ca/documents/WHS-PUB_li008.pdf) and at some videos which show risk potential at work and how to be a safer worker. http://work.alberta.ca/occupational-health-safety/bloodylucky.html.  If time, you can work on your portfolios for the rest of class.

Today we are going over employment standards.  It is important to know your rights and responsibilities in the work place.  You will be developing your own quiz on this in pairs today.  On this web site are several documents that deal with employability standards.  Today you will create the quiz questions at www.socrative.com and then tomorrow you will give the quiz to another group in the class.  We may exchange these several times.  This information WILL be tested on your unit exam so you need to know it!

We are just now coming to the end of our work on Resumes and will start on our cover letter today.  You will choose a job that you are pretending to be applying for and write a cover letter for that job.  This will go with your resume and be placed in your portfolio.  Your goal is to have a printed resume by the end of today's class and potentially a cover letter.
