*Military- can be active duty or reserves
*Veterinarian or dog trainer
*Landscaper- (would love you to bring lg lawn mower)
*Catering
*dentist/dental hygienist
*Realtor
*Carpenter/construction/
contractor
*HVAC
*Welder
*automotive repair/mechanic
*photographer
*County government or DSS rep
*Truck driver that can bring your big ol' truck
*Hauling/Dump truck/septic that can bring your truck or equipment
*Physical therapist/or Trainer
Any others would also be greatly appreciated!
The idea is to tell the students what you do on a given day at work. You should also explain necessary skills and education for your job and the benefits of having that particular job. For example, you might have a job that uses a great deal of math or one where you need to be able to communicate and get along with lots of people, or where you need to write well, or that your job means a lot of work outside even when the weather is not great.
We have a rotating schedule where you present to a class for about 20 minutes then have five minutes to rotate groups.
Presenters with large equipment like fire trucks, etc. will be stationary and groups will rotate to you. Other presenters will have student ambassadors to assist them in moving from class to class. We can't pay you, but we will be eternally indebted to you. Each presenter has a break time to enjoy refreshments and we try to have the best refreshments since we can't pay you.
PLEASE! I'm begging you! You can reach out to me, Trina Paynter, and I'll pass your information to Mrs. Callahan, or you can call the school directly at 252-257-6802 and ask for Mrs. Callahan and tell her I was hounding you online.
THANKS!!!
