Why should I hire you!? What do you have that I need? Are you handy with lightning bolts?
Are you able to create thunderstorms? Do you possess great people skills? If you answered yes
to any of these questions, then you need to apply for a job at the upcoming Age of Mythology
Job Fair.
First, you need to bring your updated resume, a formal way of selling yourself. Remember, you
want to STAND OUT! YOU are that god/goddess!! Be different! Ask yourself, “What do I
have that the other Gods and Goddesses don’t have? Remember, you NEED A JOB!

accomplish (written as an infinitive statement).

participated, and graduation dates (backwards from the most recent)

creative. Using what you know about the god/goddess, make up/invent previous work

Elevator Speech
Lastly, you need to pitch yourself as a great candidate to join the work force of Mount Olympus.
Pretend you were in an elevator and the Human Resources Director walks in and pushes the
