When applying for jobs, first impressions
count. The subject, Personal Presentation Skills covers aspects
of Grooming hair / make up / apparel / accessories and Deportment.
In this task three other class members
will join you in devising a makeover suitable for a job interview.
As a group you will present a brochure and a ten-minute presentation
on your findings. Be creative and have fun
Oprah Winfrey is doing a series
of segments on Job Searching. In segment two she has employed your group
Expert Makeovers to assist in the preparation of a makeover for a thirty-something
year old female job seeker. Oprah has suggested that a brochure
on how and what you did be made available to the studio audience.
She also wants your group to appear on her show to explain the process
of your decisions. Several women from various occupations
have volunteered for the makeover. They are the Administrative
Assistant, the Child-Care Worker, the Waiter, the Accountant,
the Nurse and the Sales Assistant. Oprah has allowed your group to
choose the job seeker that you would like to makeover but has stipulated
that hair, make-up, apparel & accessories must be suitable for
the occupation that the woman is seeking. Therefore you will need
to have a clear understanding of the job descriptions of the occupations
of these women.
The Process: Your group will comprise of four
class members. 1. First
you should examine Oprahs
Expectations, which is what you will
be evaluated on. As you partake in the following tasks you
should ensure that you are covering the assessment requirements. 2. Next, individually you will be required to research the occupations of the job seekers. To do this you will need to complete the Job Description forms for each occupation. You are to access the sites that relate to the job seekers using the links below. Your teacher will give you copies of all the forms required for this WebQuest. |

6. It is time to come together to
create your brochure and presentation. It may be a good idea
to review the
7. Collate your expert makeover
findings with the group and relate them to the occupation of
the job seeker. You may create your
brochure anyway you desire using your preferred desktop publishing
program. Examples are Aldus PageMaker, MS-Publisher, QuarkXpress
and Printshop Deluxe. Be creative and
colourful in the designing of your brochure. Remember,
this brochure is about Makeovers and they are bright and colourful!
8. Once you have created your brochure you will need to practice for your ten-minute presentation. A delegated spokesperson will need to explain why you chose the job seeker using the Group Decision Job Seeker form. However, each expert will be expected to explain in detail their choices in hair, make-up, apparel & accessories in relation to the occupation of the Job Seeker.

Oprah evaluates the success of her
TV shows by her audiences reactions. She has never experienced
derision from her audience and has no intention of starting now.
So she advises all her guests who appear on her show, of her expectations.
The more successful her guests, the more they are invited back.
You will be invited for a return
visit on Oprah........

When
attending job interviews, first impressions do count. I hope that this Web Quest has enlightened you
on the importance of personal presentation. Your
presence should indicate to the employer that you are the right
person for the position. By researching various jobs in various
industries I anticipate that you have become more aware of the job requirements
and personal attributes required. Remember, you
make an impression in the first thirty-seconds of meeting a person.
Make sure its a good one! Youre
Hired! |
