Career Worksheet l
Career Exploration Sign-up Sheet
On Thursday during second and third periods, you will attend
a special career exploration day. You will choose two of the following
speakers to interview in a small group, based on which you think
will have the most insight in a career field you could envision
yourself entering. Since Thursday is a special course selection
day for BHS, each of these sessions will be shorter than your
normal second- and third-period classes. The location of your
8:40 a.m. and 9:25 a.m. interviews will be posted on the door
of Ms. Bell's room, C220.
Each interview will be 40 minutes. You will need to complete
a field trip form if your second or third periods are with anyone
other than Ms. B or Ms. J.
Please sign up below for your top three selections (in order
of preference). If you are unsure which would be most useful given
your future plans, talk to an instructor. Number in order of preference:
Health careers, Web design/Computer technology, biotechnology,
fashion design and retailing, small business development, corporate
careers: marketing, finance, personnel services, law, entertainment.
