Activity Description
Identify a top company or companies you wish to be employed by and create a detailed plan with supporting cover letter, profile, and resume
that you will be presenting as part of your comprehensive package. You may find that targeting of an industry will assist in your research
process.
In a paper, explain why you chose the target company or companies and specific job posting you will be pursuing. Include all of the basic
materials in this course and be comprehensive in the treatment and execution of your job pursuit. Provide research rationale to support your
company selection and distinguish what collateral you will customize to get the interview. Detail your closing strategy and offer unique ways to
send your message to the decision maker.
Part of your research must include related personal goals, aspirations, and overall objectives and present what your background can do to
augment and improve those company goals. Match your background and capabilities to the needs of the company so you are able to
differentiate yourself from the other individuals seeking the same job. Offer critical attributes to help the decision maker understand that if
hired, you would perform your job duties efficiently and correctly. Sell your assets and show how you can make a positive difference within the
organization.
Support your paper with at least three (3) scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources,
including older articles, may be included.
