3. Once you understand your
results choose a career which you would like to explore further.
4. Using
the following
worksheet, write down five questions that you
would like to answer about the career you have chosen to research.
5. Along with these five
questions you will also be expected to answer the following questions about your
career:
·
Why
did you choose this career to explore further?
·
What
aspects of the career would you enjoy?
·
What
aspects of the career would you not enjoy?
·
Why
do you feel you would be good at this career?
·
If
the power went off for the day how would this effect
how you would do your job?
6. Use the career books,
internet sites below, and to answer your
questions.
***Make sure that you write down where you found your information.
Use the Bibliography Forms provided for you to record the source

Final Product:
Using Microsoft Publisher create a brochure that will be placed in
the Guidance Office for others to read. This brochure will be read by
many other people so make sure that it looks attractive and that there are no
spelling or grammatical mistakes. Before you print your brochure in
color, print a black and white version first so that you can have it checked by
your teacher and to make sure that it will fold correctly.
