Now it’s Your Turn!
You now have
the opportunity to select the qualities that
you want
out of
your career,
and identify careers in each career sector that possess those qualities
.Using the Career Data Sheet, please follow these directions…Slide21
Career Datasheet Directions
On
the top of the career chart locate the qualities (i.e. Indoors/Outdoors
)
Identify one
quality in each column and circle it (i.e. If I desire to work outdoors, then I would circle outdoors and not indoors
)
On the left side of the sheet, there are 7 large boxes. Within each box is the name of a career sector, and several careers have been identified in each of the career sectors.
Using the qualities just identified, you will move down each column and circle the quality that you selected at the top of that column (i.e. I am going to circle all of the "outdoors" if "outdoors" is the quality that I selected at the top
)
You will do this for all four columns
Now
that we have identified the qualities that we want in all of these prospective careers, it is now time to see which of the Ag careers meet the qualities that we would
like.
In
the far right column, we are going to put our our math skills to work and tally up the number of qualities that each career
meets.
Add
your circled qualities across the row, and place the total in the far right columnSlide22
