Help for the Job Seeking Skills Assessment

Assessment Task 1 - download the Template for Task 1 in the Links Menu on the Retail blog and using the job websites in a previous posting on the blog fill in the template for 4 jobs.

Assessment Task 2 - using one of the job adverts from Task 1, download the template for the letter and the resume from the blog. Write an application letter and resume as though you were applying for this job.

Assessment Task 3 - Attend a "mock" job interview for the job you made the application for in Task 2. This is with me at college on the Wednesday night.

Assessment Task 4 - After you have had the "job interview" - I will give you the self-evaulation form and you can fill it in then and give it to me!

Before you hand in the assessments use the teriffic checklists to make sure you have everything covered. There are checklists for the resume and application letter.

Before you attend the interview with me, make sure you read the section on "preparing for your interview". It will give you lots of great tips as well as ideas for questions that will be asked and ones that should be asked by you...

Hope this helps...remember if you need more info - please ask!

Hi Nicki,

With the JOB SEEKING SKILLS ASSESMENT am I correct in saying that the interview will be done by you based on the questions we wrote out? Do we then do the Evaluation in class?

Yes Adrienne what you have said is correct. I will do the interview in class and then you fill out the evaluation form immediately after. Nicki
