Using My Blog

My blog is titled Real World Materials, and it will contain exactly what it is called.  I will use this blog as a resource center for students to compile materials needed to transition into the real world.  This includes but is not limited too, resume building sites, job seeking sites i.e. (Monster, Career Builder, Hot Jobs, etc.).  I will also post information such as completing applications, interview skills, how to dress appropriately, interest inventories, and the latest news for employment.

My reason for posting this type of information is simple.  Most students today are not aware of the proper way to complete applications or dress for an interview.  They should know how to register with job finding sites to assist them in seeking employment.  They need lots of help in all of these areas.

I will have my students log into the blog and utilize the information.  I want them to discuss jobs they have found in their interest areas and the criteria to obtain the job.  I will know if the students are having success through class discussions and real world interactions that are a result of the information.
