During our normal class time, schedule at least 5-6 meetings with classmates to hear what career categories, job titles, and job market topics/trends they are exploring.
Your conversations should be designed to learn what categories, titles, topics, and trends that your peers are researching and to determine who might be a good team member for you to work with for the Career Wiki project — our biggest assignment of the semester.

Editor/designer teams should submit the link to their WordPress post of another team’s review activity.

You have been asked to find 8 career sources (5 in Week Two; 3 during class today); add an additional 5 sources to that list and format them in your “Sources” blog post on WordPress. Due by the end of the day on Monday, 6/29 (bringing your total to 13).
I’ll see your for class at 2pm.
