Good morning everyone,

Now we have learned about the job postings' phrases and sections; follow the steps below to help you find a job:
1- Use the Internet to locate two job postings for an occupation that interests you. Take notes on the
information from both postings and compare the information. Use the following headings to record
your information: Job requirements (education, experience, hard skills, soft skills, experience);
duties and responsibilities; employer information; how to apply.

2- Search the Internet for tips on completing job application forms. Write a list of 10 tips to present
them in a small group.

3- Access the Working in Canada Tool at  www.workingincanada.gc.ca. Click Start. Type in the name
of an occupation, and then select a location. Read the information about the occupation. Give a
short presentation of your findings to the class. Discuss which parts of the tool you found useful
and why.

4- Search the Internet to find examples of different résumé formats. Then answer the following questions:

1. What is the focus of each type of résumé?
2. What headings does each type of résumé have and how are the details listed under those headings?
3. What features do these résumé formats have in common?
4. Which résumé format do you think is best for you? Why?

Think and List the 10 Annoying Working Habits That Will Give Your Coworkers A Nervous Breakdown


40 Annoying Habits That Will Give Your Coworkers A Nervous Breakdown




Good morning everyone,

Here is tomorrow's plan: we'll all be going to Metro Toronto Convention Centre for the IEP Conference. You can get there by 8:30 a.m.if you leave at 7:30 from Don Mills Station. When you arrive at the Convention Centre, look out for signs that say "IEP Conference" and for people wearing sashes showing the way. At 12:30, how about group photo at the entrance of the exhibition area called the Marketplace?

While there, please note:

  1. the name of the sessions you attended and the speakers' names. 
  2. the name of one person you met in each session and something about that person. 
  3. at least one interesting or helpful thing you learned in each session.
