M05: Topic 2 Career Exploration

Instructions

Purpose: This assignment aims to learn about a health career through an informational interview and share what you learned with the class.

Directions: For this assignment, you will interview an individual of your choosing and learn more about their career. You are free to choose any questions you would like to ask the individual; I have provided a few ideas for questions below. 

1. What are the educational requirements for this profession?
2. What made you decide to go into this profession?
3. Does this position require any certifications or licensure?
4. What does a typical day look like in this profession?
5. What are the pros and cons of this profession?
6. Are there any stories from your career that you would be willing to share? 
7. What advice do you have for people considering this profession?
8. Are there any resources you would recommend when looking into this profession?

Once you have completed the interview, you will create a short PowerPoint and 2-minute video discussing the findings from your interview. The PowerPoint and video will be posted to a discussion board and shared with the rest of the class to learn more about the profession you explored. 

Submit: Once you have completed your video and PowerPoint, you will submit them to this assignment. Once the instructor has provided feedback, you will then post the PowerPoint and video to the Career Exploration Discussion #1 assignment one week before the peer responses are due so other students may view your PowerPoint and video. 

Grading: You will be graded on your PowerPoint and video. Please see the rubric for more information.
