This assignment has five parts.
1. Personal analysis (5 points): Make a list of at least 20 skills, job responsibilities, personal characteristics, education, certificates, credentials, jobs, volunteer experience, memberships in organizations, and professional activities that would qualify you for an internship, promotion, or job in your field.
2. Announcement (5 points): Look for a job advertisement, internal posting, internship, or scholarship. Identify four words in the announcement that match your primary personality style, such as flexible or punctual. Identify at least four responsibilities or qualifications of the position, such as end-of-the-month accounting, payroll, or supervision.
3. Company paragraph (10 points): Find out about the company by answering some of the questions below in a paragraph of about 100 words. Document your source(s); often you will find company details in the announcement itself.
