WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?
Many of you are asking yourself and each other why are we doing this, if that is a question you have asked then open the file below to see what is expected of you when you are Senior. Then go seek out a Senior and ask them, "If you could have created a Resume, written a Career Report, and filled out an Application in 9th grade, how would it help you today?"
All of what we are doing will be used by you in the near future and in real life. I want you to have the ability to leave my classroom ready for the next step, your Senior year and beyond. So even though you could throw together some stupid Resume or be lazy when completing your application think about the time you will save if you put forth your best effort now. Save your work you do now and you will be ahead of the game when you are Senior and instead of stressing about things like most of our Seniors you will be able to enjoy your Senior year because you did it when you were in 9th grade.
JUST a Thought and Possible Word to the Wise.

Super Hero Application
Using the sample Application handed out to you in class with your partner you will fill out the application for the job you used for your cover letter. Your application will be for your Super Hero and may include made up information, but that fits with that character. Do not put in education when they have none, or work experience when they have none. Refer to lecture notes on Applications and the sample applications below for help. HAVE the person with the best hand writing complete the Application as neatness is very very important. For references each of the students will be a reference for the Super Hero. (this will allow you to put your name on the application - so don't write your name anywhere else).
