Hi Katie. What’s up?

(A young woman appears on screen looking directly at her computer and participates in the web chat. Young man appears simultaneously in small screen in upper right corner of the screen)

Oh, hey! Not much…what are you working on?

(Web chat continues)

Oh, just ah trying to put together a résumé so I can find a job, but I’ve only ever worked in a warehouse!

(Web chat continues)

Jake – you’ve got a lot going for you! It’s all about the transferrable skills that you gain while working. Stuff like being organized, meeting deadlines,  customer service.

(Young man appears on full screen. Young woman appears simultaneously in small screen.)

Oh nice. How’d you get so good at this?

(Web chat continues)

I’m not. My sister sent me this link to help me figure out how to talk about my skills. And it really helped me put together my résumé. Do you want it?

(Web chat continues)

Sure! Thanks Katie – that’s great.

No worries. Oh yeah – didn’t you volunteer at the food bank?

(Web chat continues)

Yeah. Still do…does that count?

(Web chat continues)

Yeah - absolutely!

(Web chat ends)

Oh sweet. Well, Katie – thanks a lot.
