Career Powerpoint Project
The Career PowerPoint
Project
You
are going to be creating and presenting a PowerPoint project about a career
field that you are interested in.
So, ask yourself, what do you think you want to be when you grow up?
1st
Step: Choose a career that you think you
might be interested in.
2nd
Step: Research on the Internet that
career. I will provide a handout
on the topics that you should research.
Keep in mind that part of the assignment will be a bibliography slide,
so keep track of where your information comes from.
3rd
Step: EXTRA CREDIT INTERVIEW! If you are interested in earning extra
credit, interview someone who does your career and create a slide for the
interview. Pick up a handout for
more details. You may email someone for the information. I must see email first.
4th
Step: Spend a number of days preparing your 14 slide (that includes the title and bibliography
slides) PowerPoint presentation. I
will provide a handout on the specifics for your slide show.
The Presentation Overview
Slide
1 – This
will be a title slide. It should
include the career that you are researching, your name, and your picture. I will be taking the pictures with a
digital camera and then we will transfer those to the title slide or you can
have a picture of the job
Slides
2-13 –
These should cover the information that you found out in the library. You are not limited to 13 slides, but
it is the minimum number needed for this portion of the presentation.
Slide
14 –
Bibliography slide. This must be
done in proper MLA format and all your sources must be documented. I would like to see at least 4 sources.
You
will be earning work habits/on task points daily that will factor into the
assignment. Be present, be on
task, work hard and you will be fine!!
v
Extra
Credit: Interview someone in the
career field and do an extra slide to cover that interview. Make sure you see me for an
interview paper before doing the interview.

What You Need To Research
You will have 2 weeks to
collect all the information. You
will need to have an idea of what you are looking for. Here are some points that I would like
to see covered, but you are not limited to just these. If you find something of interest, go
ahead and include it. After all,
it is your future you are finding information for.
Skills,
abilities, interests, and talents required for the job.
v
What
are the strengths the make a person best for the job?
v
Are
there certain skills or talents that would make you a good fit for the job? For example, if you were good at math,
you would probably make a better engineer.
v
Do
your interests and hobbies come into play? For example, if you want to work for the Forest Service,
perhaps a camping hobby would be helpful.
Education and
training needed for the job.

Is a
college degree required for the job?
v
Is a

they have on the job training provided?

many years or months of schooling do you need before you are ready to enter the
work place?

kind of extra training or education do you need in order to advance?
v
Places
that offer the type of education or training that you need.
Recommended
classes to take in high school to prepare for this career.
v

kinds of classes can you take now that will prepare you for this world of work?
What do
you do at work all day?
v
What,
exactly, do people in this field do all day?
v
Does
this job come with a routine, or does it vary?
v
Do
they work with other people, or are they on their own?
v
Do
they travel, or are they in an office, store, warehouse, on site, etc.
$$$$
MONEY $$$$
v
What
do these people make in a year?
Compare what they make in Idaho and in other places.
Do not ask this
question in an interview, it’s very rude.
Find out from your research in the Internet!!!
The Interview
1st
– Make contact in person. If that is
not possible, use the phone or write a letter or e-mail.
v
Always
be sure to state clearly who you are, what your purpose is, how long the
interview will take, and what the format will be.
v
The
place and time should be convenient for the person being interviewed. In other words they will tell you when
they can talk to you, answer your e-mail etc. If they can’t meet your deadline, then you say thank you and
find someone else.
2nd
– The questions. Here are some things I would like you
to find out. If you think of other
questions you would like to ask then feel free to add them. I would like you to run those by me,
however, to make sure they are appropriate. We don’t want to insult or offend anyone.

v
What
do you like most about your job?
v
What
do you like least about your job?
3rd
– During the interview.
v
Be a
good listener. Your job is to find
out what that person knows and not to tell the person what you know.
v
Ask
questions one at a time. Don’t ask questions that can be answered with a yes or
no.
v
Listen
to the answer. Don’t worry about
the next question. The answers
will flow into the next question as part of the normal development of a
conversation.
v
Give
the interviewee time to think.
Don’t rush them.
v
Take
notes or use a tape recorder.
v
Send
a thank you letter. Courtesy and
respect doesn’t hurt anyone!
If
you e-mail, I want to check a copy of the e-mail before it is sent!!!!
