Week+6

__**JobFit**__ We're taking a break from the textbook for a few weeks, to do some career assessments.

Click here to get to the JobFit assessment. Please do this assessment when you have a couple of hours to devote to it.

Click on Download User Guide for an overview and instructions. We are doing just Step 1 Registration and Step 2 JobFit Survey.

View the Video Tutorial for a demonstration. View it from the start through 8:18 (end of Step 2), then click My Passport & Account on the left menu to skip ahead and view 13:35 through 15:17.

Type your personal information carefully because potential employers in the region may be able to view it. You want it to appear professional. (Some employers in the region use this for recruiting employees.)

(You may have done this assessment already if you have applied for the Workforce Investment Act program through Big Sandy Community Action Program. If so, you can use your existing Career Compatibility Passport.)

Make sure to record (and keep in a safe place) or memorize your user name and password that you set up for this.

Work your way through the background questions and the assessment, and at the end, the "Career Compatibility Passport" is a 16 page document with lots of valuable information you should read closely--especially Section Three.

As suggested in the report, use the O*NET website to look up more information about the careers that interest you from both the Group One and Group Two lists.

Save your report as a document on your computer or flash drive, and upload it in the Assignments area - JobFit assignment on Blackboard.

There is also a Blackboard Discussion Board post to write about your JobFit results: 1. What Group One occupations interested you? 2. What Group Two occupations interested you? 3. Copy and paste the "Occupational Interests" paragraph from page 9 of your Career Compatibility Passport.

40 points for the uploaded report + 5 points for the Discussion Board post, due Sunday, February 20, 2011, 11:59 p.m.
