Slide 1: Title Slide
Your title slide will have the career title in the main title and in the subtitle you will put your name



Slide 2: Your RAISEC code. (In Google presentations bullets do not automatically appear in the title and content slides so make sure you apply bullets when you begin to type)
This slide will tell the viewer about your RAISEC code that you wrote down on your **Self Directed Search Explanation** worksheet. You are to tell the reader what the code means. Do not copy word for word the description of each personality type, but instead, summarize what the personality means. **Remember to use tab to make the dashes (white bullets in Google presentation) appear as secondary bullets.**



Slide 3: Description of the Career
In this slide you will use the **"About the Job"** section from the the **Career Guide Worksheet** to give the viewer a general description of the career that you used. You must use the information from all three sections for this slide.

Slide 4: Career Cluster Description
This slide will describe the career cluster that the career you chose. **Use the purple worksheets to provide a description of your career cluster and provide jobs that are related to your chosen career.** Use the purple sheet that has the list of the 16 different career clusters as well as the description to complete the second bullet. Use the purple sheet called Career Clusters Worksheet to fill out the last three bullets.



Slide 5: Salary
In this slide you will tell the viewer what the salary range of your career is both on a national level, and in Wisconsin. You can go to the Wiscareers website to find out the entry, median, and experienced salaries in Wisconsin as well as Nationally.



Slide 6: Outlook
In this slide you will be using the Outlook Section of the **Career Guide Worksheet.** Tell the viewer what the expected outlook is in Wisconsin and what it looks like nationally. Also tell the viewer what the expected growth or decline is in the state of Wisconsin.



Let the viewers know of some helpful high school courses that you can take to get you on this career path. Tell the reader what education level the career requires, which, again can be found on the Wiscareers website.
