Job Search

For this assignment, you will actually complete a job search.  Select a job that you are interested in and search for an opening in that field.  Start by using the PLACEHOLDER link to find jobs in our area. You also might want to check temp agencies in our area since they sometimes hire for full-time (PLACEHOLDER) are a few but you can search for more in the area.)  If there is nothing listed, try using a search engine like PLACEHOLDER or PLACEHOLDER to find jobs.  Once you find a job you might be interested in, use the form provided below this assignment to fill in your first item in the Job Search Journal.

Write a short paragraph or two about what you like about the job you found and what the minimum requirements would be for the job.  Include your next step in applying for this job.  For instance, if you are qualified and this job seems a good fit, will you apply?  If so, what do you need to apply?  A cover letter, a resume or maybe just an online application will suffice but you will need to do something to let the potential employer know you are interested in applying for this job.

If you are not yet qualified for this job, what are your next steps to get qualified?  Do you need to take a certification class or complete your degree to get this job?  If so, list the steps necessary to obtain the minimum qualifications for this job.

You will submit two files for this assignment.  One will be the Job Search Journal with the job you selected listed in the first line.  The second file will be your short paper discussing the job itself, its minimum requirements, whether you meet those requirements, and your next steps.  Please use the submission area to the right of this assignment to submit your files.
