T tells Ss to also keep working on their “Contacted Organizations List” (it is an important reference and record keeper of our job searches). Ask Ss which list they think is more important and why. Note: (The most common question is: “Should I work on this list for my social network in Canada or my own country?” The best answer is both; however, - for starters – Ss should begin with the list that is most practical. If the S is actively seeking an opportunity in Canada, that should be their first list. If the S tells T that they’re going back to Korea in 3 weeks, a Korean list would be most practical). & (“I don’t know anyone in Canada!” T: “Really? Then you had better start working on that!”) Homework: Ss work on lists. | Group | 10 min. | Projector |
