How+to+Get+a+Job

=Project 1: How to Get a Job=

Our project as a group is to gather information that will help others to understand how to get a job. Here is how we will do this:


 * Step 1:** With a partner gather information about two local businesses in walking distance of our school. Write down their names, address and numbers at the following page.


 * Step 2:** Brainstorm with Central's Tech Group some thoughtful questions you could ask to find out how to get a job.


 * Step 3:** Write a short introduction for yourself and your partner for when you arrive at the business.
 * Step 4:** Conduct your interviews and gather some application forms (if possible)


 * Step 5:** Collaborate with the rest of the group to create a Wiki that others can learn from!
