3) Create and Control your Online Presence
- Start by cleaning up your FB. See what your page looks like when you are not logged in. Did you know your profile pic and your cover image are public domain (which means anyone can see them)? Avoid using drug/alcohol/otherwise-offensive-to-a-potential-employer imagery. If you don't know how to tighten up your privacy, please just ask for help. I'll show you.
- Make something awesome that represents the very best version of you online - Weebly (see Kelley's example: http://kelleygiorgianni.weebly.com/) LinkedIn, Video, even a CLEAN twitter account where you follow positive culture and post positive links. Or even a YouTube channel where you share positive vids...Etc... Due on Thursday!
4) Don't forget about the bonus marks for super duper designing your resume. See link below.

Generation Jobless
Yesterday you should have selected and researched three hot jobs in Canada right now. You were not supposed to research jobs that you already know about and like.
We are looking for jobs that you could actually get one day. In order to make the importance of this task clear and real to you, we are going to put a pause on the process - for one day.
Today, let's look at the Documentary Generation Jobless - including the info-graphic and their top 10 list of jobs.

Grad Planning Continued
1) Grad Program - Group Inquiry... worksheets to put in your duotang:
- Your Graduation Program Requirements
- Grad Requirements - True/False
- Programming Guides Scavenger Hunt - each group has guidebooks
- Fill in the blanks Grad Requirements
- Credit Check
2) Celebrity Grad Program - Group Task
Let's pretend that a celebrity (that your group agrees on) has just confessed to the media that she/he did not actually graduate from high school! Shocking!
In a move to make amends and get a diploma, that celebrity has picked Highland Secondary to create a three year reality TV show where she/he goes back to school and takes all the required courses in order to graduate. Your groups job is to make a three year plan for their courses, and then to make a Prezzi presentation that explains what happened during those three years. Think photos combined with report card score and comments, images of what happened in classes, and how that celebrity got along in school, etc...
Btw, lots of celebs have gone back to high school: http://www.celebuzz.com/2012-10-18/drake-graduates-from-high-school-at-25-celebs-whove-ditched-the-books-for-showbiz-gallery/
