ORDER OF BUSINESS

Call to Order: 5:00 P.M.
Old Business: * Up 'Til Dawn went wonderfully!
* Bake Sale helpers are needed! Please contact Gina S! If you plan on bringing items to sell, please do not cover them with aluminum foil. It is policy that all food must be covered, therefore plastic wrap would be much more appropriate. Individually wrapped items also sell well.
New Business: * Jamie Starmer - EDUCATION CAREER FAIR:
     - As KDP is a co-sponsor of the Education Career Fair, we have the exceptional opportunity to socialize with school administration early on in our job hunt.
     - The number of districts attending this event has dropped considerably due to recent budgeting, but don't let it dissuade you! Within a few years, things will turn around! Unfortunately, multiple subject candidates have been the hardest hit; have patience and be flexible with regards to location and supplement credentials.
     - A handful of members will participate and help recruiters by shuttling their equipment, setting-up booths, providing water and lunches, etc.
     - Advertising is not a priority, as most in their credential year are already fully aware of the fair.
     - For further information about the fair: EDUCATION CAREER FAIR
* Jamie Starmer - RESUMES:
     - General tips:
          -- Keep your resume to one page.
          -- Don't use MS Word templates. They are too restrictive and lack enough space to present an adequate amount of information.
          -- Be sure that they are aesthetically pleasing (i.e.: easy to read!).
          -- Put your most important information at the top (i.e.: your credential).
          -- Add other work experience (such as counseling, coaching, or previous work experience in other areas) to demonstrate a diversity of accomplishments.
          -- Punctuation, punctuation, punctuation!!!
          -- Are you able to speak another language? Are you fluent? Bilingual? Can you carry a conversation?
          -- Add your GPA, if it benefits you.
          -- Use lighter paper as it copies clearer.
          -- When discussing tutoring experience, be sure to describe what kind of tutoring you did.
