WHERE WE ARE MEETING
We will be meeting at Emory Johns Creek Hospital in Classroom 1 - same place as we met most times last year.
WHAT TO BRING
- Laptop
- SLJC Binder
- Have the following information in a file on your computer for use in sessions: contact information, employment history, education information, certifications, memberships to organizations, clubs (dates, position held, etc.), volunteer work (dates, etc.), computer skills list, awards, hobbies.
4. If you have already set up a LinkedIn account, bring your user name/password.
PORTFOLIO PICTURES
Everyone will be getting a professional portfolio picture taken. Plan to wear professional looking clothing from the waist up. Shirt, tie, jacket, etc. You would want to avoid prints and go with solid colors. The background will be black so avoid wearing black. You will receive the photos via email after I receive them. You will be given a ticket time to get your photo made - you will quietly leave the session, get your photo made and return quietly to the on-going session.
STRENGTHQUEST TESTING
Everyone will receive an individual code to take the Gallup StrengthQuest assessment. You will need to take this within a week of our program day. The assessment takes 30 minutes of uninterrupted time and is critical to our next two program dates so it is important that you do this
no later than September 13th.
SHADOWING
I am still working to find many shadows for our students. If you have not yet heard from me, it means I haven't found a person for you to shadow yet. This project is not due until March so we do have time and we will find someone for everyone to shadow.
SECRETARY OF STATE AMBASSADORS
Secretary of State Ambassadors (Olivia Logan, Vanisha Kudumuri, Aniruddha Gupta, Caroline Custis, Nathaniel Alemayehu, Kriti Kothari, Sarah McWhirter, Adiva Dutta, and Kaitlyn Jung) will meet at Northview High School front entrance by 9:30 am. You will take a bus to the World Congress Center - Liz Wong and Ms. Susan Walker will be accompanying you. Dismissal should be around 2 pm. Lunch will be provided.
