Job-Specific Personal Statement

I would like you to have at least one job-specific "Personal Statement" for your portfolio. Sometimes there will be a box on an application (see below) and sometimes a prospective employer will want one typed up. Many colleges also look for a "Personal Statement" written up as an essay discussing who you are, what your philosophy of education is, and what you plan to do with your life -- but we may do one of those a bit later.  For now, I want you to think of a specific job you might apply for once you leave high school.  If you can't think of a specific job (i.e. a janitorial worker at Jellico Hospital... or a cashier at Wal Mart... or a waitress at Cracker Barrel) pick a general job and work from that.  You may come back to these later for answering the question on an application or if you are writing a letter for prospective employment.  (Paragraphs reflect yellow boxes)
