It's Thursday!! 2/26

Good Morning!  Happy Thursday!!

Today we are going to continue with our resume.  For your blog post today please think about the Objective section of your resume.

• What is an objective?  (You can do a quick Google search)
• List 3 objectives that you could put on your resume
• Have one be a short term goal/objective that is easily within your reach
• Have one be a short term goal/objective that would be a stretch for you
• Have one long term goal/objective that you hope to explore as a career
• What do you think the purpose of listing the objective on your resume is and do you think it will change each time you apply for a job?

In addition to the above, I'd like to continue with the discussion of opportunities for you.  Here are a couple that you could explore right now:

Learn how to code this March - it's a 3 day course on March 14th, 15th and 28th!!

Be a role model, earn community service credit and build your resume!

Email Mr. Rubin Today at crubin@seq.org with Questions or If You Want to Sign Up!

Transportation is provided and you can choose the dates and times that work best for you!

Want to go to Electronic Arts for a Fieldtrip on Friday March 20th?  Email Mr. Rubin at crubin@seq.org and discuss in one paragraph why you would like to join this trip.  Your response should also include whether your grades reflect your ability to miss your classes on that date.

Remember - in the past 2 months alone we have had opportunities to apply for Girls Who Code (closed now), an internship at Facebook (paid - $1,500), the opportunity to apply for a new computer, the chance to step inside a multi-million dollar business on the top floor of a business district company, the chance to tour a California State University, the chance to receive extra support after school at our Academy Homework Center, etc.  What are you doing to help yourself?  How are your grades?  What opportunities are you taking advantage of?  How are you going to ensure you are successful?  Remember - nobody is going to do that for you - you have to do that for yourself!!  I am proud of those of you taking advantage of all of these opportunities and hope you know that!!

By the end of today you should have an outstanding, perfectly done, double/triple checked resume ready to be printed!!
