Evidence of Research
• You need to include job information that
you looked up.
• This should included:
– Job description
– Duties and responsibilities
– Qualifications
– Entry level positions
– Advancement opportunities
– Job outlook and salary
Experience in the real world
• Basically, you need to get in contact with
someone who has the job you are
researching (or a similar job) and then
write about it.
• You can interview them, observe them
while they work, go to a business and
casually ask some questions, talk with
friends or family, etc.
• DO NOT BE WEIRD! All you have to do is
ask someone about their job, it’s really
easy!
Sample School Work
• You are going to pick an assignment from
Ms. Finney, Ms. Walton or this class that
you have completed and did a good job
on.
• Then you are going to write about the
assignment and how it pertains to the job
you want.
Use of FCS Coursework
• You need to relate your career to
SOMETHING we have talked about in
here. (Or Ms. Finney or Walton’s classes)
• Remember, we talked about work ethic,
fringe benefits, various job skills and how
jobs impact your lifestyle!!
Career Planning
• You are going to make at least 2 career
goals and a plan to make them happen.
• Your plan needs to include things you did
or could do in high school and what you
plan on doing to complete the goals.
• Activities, programs and clubs you did or
could join should be included.
Work Cited

address you used. It will give you a result.
• Copy and paste the result onto your work
cited page.
• They must be in alphabetical order!
Appearance
• THIS IS NOT A SLIDE TO INCLUDE IN
YOUR POWERPOINT!!!!!
• IT IS JUST A NOTE TO REMIND YOU TO
MAKE SURE YOUR PRESENTATION
LOOKS NICE!!!
• DO NOT PUT A SLIDE
THAT SAYS APPEARANCE
IN YOUR PROJECT!
Presentations
• 39 points of your project come from your
presentation.
• This is not something you can opt out of.
• You probably will not pass if you don’t present.
• Think about your presentation before your time
to present comes. Make some notes and have a
plan. This will definitely improve you
presentation.
• DO NOT READ ME YOUR POWERPOINT. I
WILL STOP YOU BEFORE YOU ARE
FINISHED AND NOT LET YOU CONTINUE IF
YOU READ TO ME FROM YOUR
PRESENTATION.
