JOB VS. CAREER
A job provides you with the basics–
cash and something to do.
A career is your chosen occupation.
It provides you with challenges,
opportunities, and a level of
satisfaction.

to start all over. Nothing exists but water,
land, trees, animals and 50 people whose
ages range from 10 to 50. Trying to restart
the world, your group of 50 people has put
you in charge of selecting the seven most
necessary occupations to get the world
going again. No training for any of these
occupations is necessary. List the seven
occupations and the reasons why you
would select each one.

APPLICATION
VS
RESUME
RESUME
A resume is - a personal data sheet commonly used to apply
for a job.
It lists your skills and experience so that future employers
can see what you have already done and whether your
experience meets the job’s requirements.
You can find different templates (patterns) or example
resumes in word processing programs that you can use to fill
in your information in the spaces provided, without having to
create your own layout.

SOMETHING TO
CONSIDER:
If an individual gives misinformation (lies or is dishonest)
about jobs, skills or anything on their job application,
resume, in their interview, on their background check, or any
other time during the hiring process or while working for that
employer, they could be fired or not even considered for the
job.

INTERVIEW TIPS

• http://video.about.com/jobsearch/Job-Interview-Tips.htm
TIP #1
Be punctual. If
necessary, drive to the
interview location the day
before to ensure you
know how to get there. A
good rule of thumb is to
be 15 minutes early.
TIP #2
Prepare for the
interview. Research
the company and its
products and
services, and make
sure you know the
company's correct
name. Stating the
wrong name probably
won't earn you a
second interview.
TIP #3
Relax and be yourself.
So many times, people
stress over a job
interview. Your best bet
is to be the best,
professional version of
yourself, and look at an
interview as an
adventure. You are
likely to learn
something new and
useful, even if you
aren't the right person
for the job.
TIP #4
Smile and be
friendly. An
interview is not the
time to be shy. A
warm smile goes a
long way toward
establishing a good
first impression
and rapport with
the interviewer.
TIP #5
Use a firm handshake
and direct eye contact.
A limp handshake or
lack of eye contact can
make you appear ill-atease and possibly less
than honest. Greet the
interviewer when you
walk into the room and
don’t sit down until
they are seated or they
ask you to sit.
TIP #6
Bring copies of your resume
and portfolio. Interviewers
don't always have a copy of
your resume available and you
will seem ultra-prepared if you
have extras. A portfolio
containing samples of your
work is also impressive. Of
course, the type of job you are
applying for dictates what
goes in your portfolio.
TIP #7
Look the part. You want
your potential employer to
be able to visualize you in
the role. Good grooming
and professional
appearance are important.
Even if you know the office
is typically business casual,
a well-fitting suit makes an
excellent first impression. A
good rule of thumb is to
dress one step above what
you will be wearing on the
job. You don’t want to look
underdressed.
TIP #8
Ask questions. Make
sure you have prepared
a few questions ahead
of time. Typically,
interviewers gauge your
interest in the position
by whether you ask
questions.
TIP #9
Turn off your cell phone!
Don’t pull out your cell
phone at all, even when
you are waiting. Use the
time waiting for the
interview to familiarize
yourself with the office
environment. Make sure
you phone is all of the way
off and don’t ever answer
your phone during an
interview.
TIP #10
Write a thank-you
note. Make sure you
get business cards
from every person
who interviews you
and send a
handwritten note to
each one. Make sure
you spell their names
correctly. So few
people write thank-you
notes that this alone
will create a positive
impression.
DID YOU KNOW?
It is illegal to deny an
individual a job
because of their race,
color, religion, sex,
national origin, age,
or disability.
In fact, it is illegal for
a potential employer
to ask you any of the
following information
in an interview:
•

Your age
A disability
Your family
Your marital status
Your religion
Your national origin
Your race
