Week 3 COMPLETED ✅ Earniversity
Week 3, Lesson 1: Employability! My favourite part about this session was going through the 9 important skills that employers look for. I enjoyed this part the most as, not only did it get me thinking about how to sell myself in future job interviews, but it also taught me what employers are currently looking for. It also pointed out to me that in order to be the ideal employee, I should develop as many of the 9 skills, as possible. We also went over a CV: what is required on it (qualifications, any experience, and honesty) and what isn’t a necessity ( a photo of yourself). After this, we went over interviews, this showed us how we should act, dress, and present ourselfs in an interview. I also learnt key points, such as, arriving early to interviews, and to prepare questions for the interviewer about the role, and perhaps researching the interviewer to find any common points of interest. Our challenge for this lesson was to create a CV.
Week 3: lesson 2: Inperson/ online services! In this lesson, I enjoyed discussing some of the inperson/ online services that I can do at my age. Although I allready have my own, car cleaning & detaining business with my friend, I enjoyed learning more about this inperson service as well as learning about other ones, such as delivering shopping to elderly people. To end the lesson,Dene Botha walked us through creating a poster to promote our services on Canva! I found this part of the session extremely helpful, as for people who rarely use canva, such as myself, hands-on learning, was very beneficial. Our challenge was to complete the poster. I also plan to post this on our car cleaning Facebook page (@Ln Car Cleaning), and even print a few out and post them through letterboxes in my local area.
