We have been getting acquainted with AKCIS program, which is the Alaska Careers Information website for students. It has a lot of great resources and we have taken assessments to help identify careers of interest. Students have chosen to have several people come in and each student will be responsible for TWO interview questions, regarding our guest’s career.
We need to find some career people in the following categories (who would be willing to come and be interviewed by students)
Engineer
Court Clerk
Security Guard
Writer
These are the career areas we have people secured to be involved:
Software developer
Actor
Crime Lab Investigator
Lawyer
Next week:
We are having guests in the building for Career Talk Interviews. We will dress professional and come prepared (well slept, groomed, etc.)
Our schedule will be laid out as such:
Monday: Portfolio Showcases to advisory, prepare questions for career guests
Wednesday: Wayne Mitchell, Actor & co-founder of TBA Theatre
Friday: Russell Waggoner, Software developer & Smart Phone App Creator

Team Builders
Tuesday, Oct 30. Team Builders
Ms. Carton realized that as an advisory, we had not done team builders as of yet. So, she dedicated the first half of advisory to playing some team building games as well as just generally spending time as an advisory.
We had a lot of laughs, and a lot of fun. Much needed for the Carton Cult.
