Boot Camp Day 2
Professional Exploration Module
By the end of this module you will have a greater understanding of 3 careers related to your internship and you will have plans in place to conduct one informational interview.
Before moving on to the rest of Day 2. You will need to conference with Mrs. Soeder. Please contact her (440) 205-0019 or [email protected] and set up a time for today that works for your schedule.
You should be ready to share your 3 questions and the steps you will take to find the answers. Do NOT move on until you have received approval for the 3 areas you plan to research. |
Now, it s time to find the answers to your specific questions. Most likely this is the kind of research that juniors/seniors should be doing anyway. Your answers will be shared in your final presentation (the powerpoint). Remember you already started this from Day #1. Add a slide to the powerpoint with a concise answer to each of your questions. This should have real value for YOU and your journey. Make sure this work moves you forward.
