Part 1: Technology Taking Over Jobs

Regardless of the industry in which you would like to work, it is very important that you prepare and position yourself in ways that will make you attractive to employers. With these in mind, answer the following questions.

1. In what industry would you like to work and why?
2. What type of career would you like in that industry?
3. Explain at least three practical steps that you are taking to get yourself prepared for your dream job in your preferred industry.

Your answer can be written or in a video format. A written answer should be about 150 words and a video response should not exceed 6 minutes.

Part 2: Soft Skill - Digital Readiness for the Working World

Click on the WileyPlus link in the left hand menu here on blackboard. From that page, click on "Wiley Course Resources" and you will see the resources for each chapter of the textbook.

From the same Course Resources page, scroll all the way down to the soft skills section and open Module 8. The topic for that module is 'Digital Readiness for the Business World'.

There are four sections (section 8.1 to 8.4) with content and videos on the topic.

Pick whichever section attracts you the most. Read the content and watch the videos in that section selected. If there is any activity in that section, complete it.

After that, share a summary of what you learned with the class in this discussion forum. Minimum of 100 words will be fine for this.
