GRAD TRANSITIONS

PRESENTATION PACKAGE

LFMSS Grad Trans Presentation Package 1 | P a g e

IntroductionThe revised Graduation Transitions program is designed to support every BC graduate in the acquisition of the attributes that characterize students graduating in all schools across British Columbia. These attributes include intellectual development; social development; and career development as prescribed on the website www.bcgov.bc.ca/graduation.

Graduation Transitions is required for all students enrolled in Grade 10, 11 or 12 as of September 1, 2007 and beyond.

This program is intended to prepare students for a successful transition to life after secondary school by taking ownership of their own health and learning; finding connections between their learning and their future and use that connection to create a plan for continued development in health and living areas as well as education and career opportunities.

Graduation Transitions consists of three components:

o Personal Healtho Community Connectionso Career & Life Transition planning

The grad transitions course is worth four (4) credits towards graduation. Students must complete the requirements listed for each area of reflection in order to receive the four credits for graduation.

Upon successful completion of the program, a Requirement Met (RM) mark will appear on the final report card.

RequirementsAll graduating students will be required to take the Grad Transitions course and ALL required components should be completed by the deadlines given. Once approval for the Powerpoint, Keynote or Prezi presentation has been given by Ms Daniwall, you are then able to practice delivering your portfolio presentation on May 1 & 2, 2013.

GUIDELINES FOR WRITING YOUR RESUME

Making it Professional & Memorable

A resume must be short, easy to read; and quick to draw information from. Its job is simple: to get you the interview. Your resume is what will sell YOU to the company. When writing your resume, remember your audience and target your resume accordingly. Students who seemingly want “any job” do not impress employers. Students who have carefully thought about their skills, abilities and achievements and know how these relate to the type of work they are seeking impress them.

STYLE AND APPEARANCE The first impression of your resume should be favorable; make it look nice Imagine “vertical lines” – everything should line up properly (dates, locations, etc) Should be kept to 1 or 2 pages (aim for one). A manager will only glance at it for 15 seconds. Your name should be front and center and bold. Your resume must be well organized; easy-to-read; contain up-to-date information Needs to be grammar and spelling error free. Avoid Bright colours and “fancy fonts” Make sure your email address is professional; might be time to get a new one

ORGANIZATION The most important information should go first For example, if your Work Experience would be of greater interest to the employer

than your Education, put it first All dated items should be listed chronologically, with the most recent at the top.


Some clean, professional resume samples

[ Content of a solid resume ]

PERSONAL INFORMATIONCenter this information at the top with your name in larger and bold font.

Include your address, telephone number, and email

JOB OBJECTIVE OR CAREER GOAL A job objective or career goal is a brief personal summary about who you are. This

is done in paragraph form, not point form, and includes what you would bring to the job, but also, what you would like to learn from your experience. This gives the employer an idea of what you want to do and how you can benefit his/her company.

WORK EXPERIENCE Organize jobs in reverse chronological order, starting with most recent Date (month and year) when you began and date when your job ended Job title: create an accurate one if you did not have one Name of the company or organization and its location In point form, detail what your responsibilities were for the job listed

EXAMPLE:June 2008 – Present Save-On-Foods Langley, BC Cashier & Customer Service Rep

Packed, bags, straightened shelves, worked a cash register, customer service representative

VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE Organize volunteer experience the same way you would work experience

EXAMPLE:Summer 2011 BC Summer Games Burnaby, BC

Helped organize athletes, time various events, and maintain a clean grounds

EDUCATION List your education starting with the most recent year. List the year(s) you attended

in bold; then the name of the school; and finally the grade or completion of special programs.

EXAMPLE:Sept 2007-Present Langley Fundamental Mid & Sec School Langley, BC

Currently in Grade 12 B-Honour Roll Grades 8-11


Leadership 2010

SKILLS SUMMARY It is important to identify to the employer what general skills you possess Include three to six points outlining your most relevant strengths for the type of

work you are looking for. If you are proficient in other languages or have any other special skills related to

the specific type of work you will be doing, include them here.

ACTIVITIES AND INTERESTS State your role (e.g., Member, President), the name of the organization and the

dates during which you were involved. Organize this information in reverse chronological order. State if any positions were elected or appointed.

At the bottom of the section include interests such as physical fitness, hobbies, sports and/or leisure activities.

REFERENCES Avoid “References available upon request” Include at least two responsible adults as references for the employer to call to

verify the information given in your resume. You shouldn’t use family members.

Firstname LastnameJob TitlePhone NumberEmail Address

Firstname LastnameJob TitlePhone NumberEmail Address

How Many Pages Should my resume be?

Most high school students should be able to keep a resume to one page. If you have to go to 2 pages, try to fill at least half of the 2nd page. Avoid large blank spaces.

A good 2 page resume

A bad 2 page resume


Resume Vocabulary

Try to incorporate these terms when describing yourself. They will help make you stick out, especially if the company is using a computer to scan a large collection of resumes.

GUIDELINES FOR WRITING A COVER LETTER The Magical Four Paragraph Cover Letter

The Purpose of covering letter is to introduce yourself to the employer to whom you are applying. Your cover letter is your personal ambassador. It reflects your personality, your attention to detail, your communication skills, your enthusiasm and your intellect. An employer will decide whether or not you will reach the next phase in the employment process-the interview- based on the information in your application package. The four-paragraph cover letter could cast the magic spell you need.

First Paragraph Identify the job you are applying for and how you learned about it. Indicate that you have attached enclosures with the letter (e.g. resume and portfolio). This paragraph should be brief; no more than two or three sentences.

Second Paragraph State your qualifications for the position. Deconstruct the job description and list the required skills, duties and responsibilities. Focus on relevant qualifications listed in your resume and discuss them in detail,

demonstrating how your background and experience qualify you for the job. Be as specific as possible, and refer the reader to your resume for additional details. Stick to the facts about your competency, skills and attitude. Never dismiss the skills of

others.

Third Paragraph Refer to research you have done about the company and how it relates to your interests. Illustrate your knowledge about the employer, key projects they have underway, their

corporate culture, and any unique working conditions. Indicate your willingness to meet for an interview.

Fourth Paragraph Close with one or two sentence paragraph thanking your reader for his or her time

consideration.

Other Sign your name in pen above your typed name, phone, and email Tell them what it attached by using an “Enclosure: Resume, Application Form and Letter

of Reference” statement

Remember: the goal of the cover letter is to secure an interview. An excellent cover letter will ensure you will get the interview and identify key themes you’d like to discuss – themes that are at the heart of the employer’s enterprise.

Joe Smith 2222 - 22B Avenue Langley, V1M 0A3

October 4, 2010

Mr. Andrew McNamara Editor in Chief, Game Informer 724 North 1st Street 3rd FloorMinneapolis, MN 55401

Dear Mr. McNamara:

I am applying to become an associate editor at your esteemed website. Having been a long time fan, I have always kept up to date on your website and found the ad for the job there. The intellectual and genuine journalism found on your website motivated me to apply for this job.

My qualifications consist of both experience and grades in relative subjects. I am currently writing for a lesser-known website, and have been writing there for about three months. I have learned a lot about various formats including HTML, and using publishing platforms like word press. Throughout my high school years, I have maintained above 80% in English, improving my mark gradually each following year, thus maintaining an “A” honor roll status in the majority of my high school grades. I’m right for this job because of my passion for journalism, and my ability to efficiently learn new skills, and apply those new skills to further my career in journalism. I can provide quality articles, and am flexible to write on whatever topic I am given, and complete those articles on time.

Thank you very much for giving me the chance to apply to become a part of your illustrious website/ magazine. Attached is my resume further stating my skills and history pertaining to this job.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Joe Smith 604-123 - 4567 [email protected]

PRESENTATION TIPS &

GUIDELINES“You present the presentation; the presentation doesn’t present

you”

Your presentation must be created using one of the digital presentation systems listed below:

PowerPoint(MS Office)

KeyNote(Mac)

Prezi(

A few things we want you to consider when presenting: Avoid reading off the screen. Use the screen as a guideline to remember what it is you want to talk about. The majority of information should come from YOU… not the screen. Maintain as much eye contact with your evaluator as possible Don’t rush the presentation. You have lots of time. Bring some water with you in case you throat dries up a little Be genuine. Be real. Be yourself. We want to know the real you. Relax. Taking a few breaths before you get started can be very helpful;
