Typically placed at the entrance to <br /> the fair,this booth can also be used for Career Counseling [best provided by a <br /> guidance counselor] to help students change occupations if they desire or find a part <br /> time job to supplement their income. <br /> Career Counseling: This booth provides occupational profiles and higher education <br /> advice relative to the students' chosen profession. It provides students with <br /> information on interviewing tips, dress for success tips. They can also get <br /> interviewed for a part time job. Part time jobs are periodically announced, so <br /> students can go to the Credit Counseling booth,where they check in with the credit <br /> counselors to be approved for a part time job. The career counselor will interview <br /> them and determine if they are qualified. Usually only a few dozen part time jobs <br /> are offered. <br /> Charity/Community Service: This booth is unique at each fair, as organizers <br /> choose a community service project for the students to participate in,while also <br /> allowing the students to donate some of their simulation money to a charity. While <br /> the community service is actually performed by the students,the charity component <br /> is only part of the simulation. <br /> Reality Check: This booth simulates unexpected events that can lead to major <br /> financial consequences or a sudden cash windfall. The objective of this booth is to <br /> prepare students for how to handle these situations and likely appreciate the <br /> importance of having an emergency fund. In addition, it presents the challenge <br /> directing a cash windfall to one's savings,investments, debt <br /> obligations, or perhaps choosing to purchase a new luxury item.This booth also <br /> includes a few positive outcomes like a raise at work or receiving a tax return. <br /> Credit Counseling: The Credit Counseling booth is typically placed in the middle of <br /> the fair with credit counselors facing all directions. Students visit this booth <br /> throughout the fair and at the conclusion of the fair to get advice on their spending <br /> plan and make the necessary adjustments to stay in the black. Students usually visit <br /> this booth several times during the fair. This booth will require several volunteers <br /> who have a solid knowledge in financial planning. <br /> Credit For Life Development Toolkit Page 30 <br />
