Look ‘em in the eye…

First, I’ll take you resumés and cover letters.

Then, individually, we’ll take one theme you decided on Tuesday and search for an appropriate, interesting, or challenging quote that relates to it and the book you’re reading. Here are 3 good quote search sites to use:

• Quoteland
• Wikiquote
• Quotations Page

After you have your quote, explain how it relates to your novel by explaining what you think it means and then directly comparing it to 3 events or characters in the novel. 200 words.

Next, we’ll talk about interviews. How do we need to act during an interview? Here is one site with ideas. We’ll brainstorm some more ideas and then using these lists of job interview questions, we’ll run interviews in groups of 3. You’ll have your résumé (your homework) to help you.

Finally, I’d like you to read the following article describing a Virtual Job Interview (use this if that doesn’t work) and answer the following questions in a blog post.

1. What is Second Life?
2. How is Mr. Gould dressed? The author? Why?
3. What are some positives to having interviews in Second Life?
4. What are some distractions to having interviews in Second Life?
5. How do you think job hunting and the workplace will change when you are ready to enter it?

HW: Keep reading your book circle book. Make the job shadow happen.
