As we embark on our 3 day weekend....Just a reminder to be working on your resume! Mrs. Adcock is available to assist you should you need help. Please e-mail her directly at jladcoc@carrollk12.org for resume assistance. A template and Resume Writing Guide has been provided as part of the assignment. If you have completed a resume as part of another class, you are welcome to update that resume and upload it to this Google Classroom. Mrs. Adcock will be reviewing all the resumes and providing feedback. Remember: A resume is a professional tool that will serve you well not only for mock interviews, but also in securing a summer job or internship, applying to colleges, etc.
This is absolutely the LAST CALL for you to submit your online course selection form to choose your classes for 21-22. This information has been available to all of you since January 13; we cannot move forward to build next year's master schedule until all course selections are submitted. I have been very willing to make myself available to help if assistance was needed and we are simply out of time. If you do not submit your form by next Tuesday, 2/16, I will have to make selections for you so please take a few minutes to submit that form. The scheduling website has links to the Program of Studies, your 4-year plans (also referred to as ECPs), as well as the link to the course selection form itself. All that you need to do is check off the classes on the form that are listed in your grade 12 column on your 4-year plan and then select any other classes that you wish to take until you have a total of 8 credits identified. Also available on the scheduling website are videos from each department about the class offerings in their area, as well as a video of me going over the course selection form.

Attention Juniors! Ms. Adcock will be available to answer your resume questions
TODAY during advisory. Just click on the link (see below) in this Google Classroom to join.
As you prepare for the upcoming mock interviews, it is important to take the next step in the career preparation process: Creating your resume. This will serve as a professional document that you can use for applying to jobs, colleges, internships, etc. Please submit your resume here. Since this is your personal marketing document, you should select the option below that will allow you to create the best possible resume. Options for creating your resume: 1. Use the Resume Writing Guide (attached to this assignment) to assist you in creating your resume without a template. 2. Select a template from Google Docs or Microsoft Word - be sure to customize it appropriately and save it as a PDF before uploading here. 3. Canva is now an approved technology resource for CCPS, and can be found in the Student Resources section of Clever. You can search "High School Resume" templates in Canva, and select the template that you would like to customize. Then, you can save it and upload it here. 4. You can use the
Resume Template attached to this assignment. Be sure to delete any sections you are not
using and add sections as appropriate. If you have questions, or if you would like additional help, please contact Mrs. Adcock at jladcoc@carrollk12.org or join the Google Meet during advisory on February 10 (more sessions to be added). The link for that Google Meet will be available in the banner of this Google Classroom.

Good afternoon all! It was great catching up with those of you that stopped by my Google Classroom today to chat about course selection!
A couple of questions that came up today in conversation:
**Item #1 should be your last name; I'm not sure why that was not listed there but I fixed it. **Yes, even if we had a meeting to review/revise your 4-year plan and discussed classes for next year, you do still need to complete the online course selection form. The link to the scheduling website was posted on January 19 and is listed below in the stream a couple of posts down.
The Program of Studies, copies of 4-year plans (ECP's),
and a link to the course selection form are all posted on the website.
**Yes, you still need to sign up for 8 credits in spite of other plans like dual enrollment, internships, etc. The reason for this is that we cannot finalize plans for those things until
later in the semester. If, for any reason, one of those plans would fall through (unlikely, but it could happen), then we have a full schedule here for you. It's like a Plan B---it's always wise to have a Plan B. An example of this would be if you are planning to take ENG 101 at CCC
next year, go ahead and put in the English class listed on your 4-year plan. We will remove that once your registration at CCC is completed. I will likely open up my classroom at least a few more times before course selections are due on 1/29. Look out for a post from me about that!
