Last week you had a lot of assignments due, as we wrapped up the Career & Post-Secondary unit of the course. Ensure that you hand in any missing work tomorrow/Tuesday so that you do not fall further behind.
Over the long weekend I have marked all of your cover letters and resumes and gave you a mark. All of you will have to make any appropriate changes (see my comments/suggestions) and print out a new copy of each to take to your Mock Interview on Nov.30th. Also, do not lose your cover letters or resumes. You should have both a paper copy as well as an electronic copy for future reference. You will be updating your resume throughout your lives, so keeping a copy will save you a lot of time and work!
This week we are starting Personal Finance. Since I have worked at a bank for the last 5 years, I have a lot of insightful knowledge on how banking, savings, etc. works. I have a lot of material to cover and will have to move quickly through it! Ensure that you are in class everyday and pay close attention. I want to finish this unit by the end of next week, if possible. You will need a calculator for this unit, so ensure you bring one to class each day.
