PowerPoint Presentation and job interviews

Good evening class,

Today we're going to start by viewing a slide show that was produced using a presentation program called PowerPoint. It's about a program that helps students get better jobs. Here is the link.

Then I want you to listen to the audio and answer the questions of this exercise.

Finally you can watch a YouTube video that talks about finding a job using transferrable skills.

If you have time, you can also watch this video about resumes. This is sort of an advertisement, but it has good information, too.
