Good-bye Career Awareness class

Dear my dearest Mrs. Seitchik,
   I am so sad to say that i am leaving your class. I am really going to miss you because you are a great teacher and you taught me a lot. You taught me how to make a resume, write thank you letters, how to act in interviews and much more.If you think this class is easy it really is but, also it is hard because if you do not do what you are told and you get behind it is gonna be hard to come back. Other then that i have the two best-est friends in this class! There names are BRIANNA JAMES & ANTHONY (BUD) SODA:)) i love them both very mcuh and i don't know where i would be without them.<33333

Career-explore class

What can i say about this class? Well I must say it is very fun and interesting. You learn a lot of things. Some of these things are to make resumes, learn how to write in letters to where you would like a job, how you should act if you get interviewed and much more. This class is very helpful and the valuable pieces i got to make to make my life more easy is that we got to make resumes and learned how to fill them out. Later in life that will help me out a whole lot. Also i had the greatest teacher that teached me. Her name is Mrs. Seitchick and she is a career-explore teacher at George Washington High School. She does a lot of things but it pays off. Also she makes learning fun and she is just the best-est. I LOVE THIS TEACHER<3 lol.

Thank You Letter Tips

1: Keep your letter simple and focused.

2:Single Space your letter and leave a space between each paragraph.

3:Left justify your thank you letter.

4:Use a plain font like Arial, Times New Roman, or Verdana.

5:Select a font size of 10 or 12 points.

6: The first paragraph of your letter should thank the hiring manager for taking the time to interview you.

7:The second paragraph of your thank you letter should include the reasons why you are strong candidate for the position. List two specific skills that relate to the job you interviewed for.

8:If there is information about your qualifications that you wish you had mentioned during the interview, but didn't get a change to discuss use the next paragraph to explain.

9:In your closing paragraph, reiterate your appreciation for being considered for the job hiring from him or her soon.

10:Leave a blank line after the salutation, between each paragraph and before the closing.

Dressing for an Interview

How should you dress for a job interview? I think you should dress dressy for a job interview, but then again it depends because say if you work at Hot-topic and you need to dress skater or punk  rocker-ish then you may not be able to wear something very dressy. To me i am going to say it depends on the  job you  are going to for an interview and what ever that job maybe, then that is how i would assume a person would dress for that interview that day. (:
Hot-  topic dress code(s)
Dressy wear for interview

Purpose of a job application

The purpose for a job application is so you may have a good job and so you can fill out forms and stuff like that. Applications are used worldwide to collect data from potential employees for the purpose of evaluating their qualifications. Also most job seekers are unaware that their applications are used to evaluate other skills and strengths.
