Step-1-Find-Job-Announcements-job-analysis

/in /by

Following the steps below, begin to create the framework for your About Me draft. To help create this framework, you’ll begin by locating 3-5 job announcements for positions you’ll legitimately qualify for upon graduation. Then, begin to draft the About Me bio in 100 words or fewer. You’ll eventually build on this draft and submit a longer version on Sunday, October 8 (see the About Me Bio assignment).

Step 1: Find Job Announcements

As mentioned above, you’ll need to find 3-5 job announcements for (entry level) jobs in your field. In other words, find job announcements for jobs to which you would be applying upon graduation (so internships and co-ops would not be appropriate here since these are positions typically held by current college students). Some places to look for job announcements include:

Cardinal Career NetworkLinks to an external site.

Links to an external site.http://www.michiganworks.org/Links to an external site.

https://www.usajobs.gov/Links to an external site.

http://www.indeed.com/Links to an external site.

Links to an external site.http://www.glassdoor.com/index.htmLinks to an external site.

Links to an external site.http://www.dice.com/

There are plenty of other sites to locate job announcements. Asks friends and/or professors in your department if there are specific job recruiting web sites in your field.

*Please note: I do not necessarily endorse the sites above. These are sites students have indicated work well for them. Some sites may require login registration. I encourage you to read through terms and conditions and other materials for these sites before registering.

Step 2: Analyze the Announcements

Once you’ve located 3-5 job announcements, conduct a close reading of each and write a 100-150 analysis of these job announcements. What are the keywords or key phrases you notice across announcements? What skills, experiences, and requirements are privileged most? In your discussion, make a list of your findings, and link to or include screenshots of each job announcement.

Step 3: Reading about Creating a Bio

Read Kistler’s “How to Write a Bio, which breaks down a professional bio, and discuss three ways this piece will be useful as you draft your own bio.

Step 4: Write a 100-Word About Me

Considering what your analysis revealed, begin to frame your bio by writing a 100-word “About Me.” Some things to consider, as you write:

1. Stay at or just under 100 words

2. What makes you stand out and how can you define your “brand?”

3. Incorporate the appropriate wording (lexical choices) from the job announcements when necessary–the keywords and phrases from your analysis above.

4. What are three to five claims you can make about your accomplishments, experiences, and/or skills?

5. Be specific and concise.

Try to stay away from typical job search platitudes such as “hardworking,” “multitasker,” “dependable,” and others that can be used to describe just about anyone. Instead, push yourself to be unique and define you–and your brand.

**Please note: This 100-word bio will help jump start the About Me bio draft due Sunday, October 8.

I would like for everyone to work on finding articles that are scholarly in nature and not from general websites. For example, the website sciencedaily.com is a popular choice; however, this website does not contain articles. The website only posts news stories on recent published articles. As a reminder, you need to prepare an original 600 word summary on your selected article for modules 1-6 (new article each module).

Unit 4 Discussion board

Unit 4 Discussion Board Assignment

In 1908, playwright Israel Zangwill referred to America as a melting pot. Zangwill’s concept of the United States as a country where people of all cultures and nations are free to come and contribute to a common American culture remains a popular concept—even more than a century after its introduction.

More recently, the concept of the American mosaic asserts that American society consist not of melting pot in which people and cultures mix together to form a larger American culture, but as a mosaic in which ethnic groups come to the United States and coexist with other groups but maintain significant cultural and social distinctions among themselves. Post a discussion that explores these themes by demonstrating how various cultures and ethnicities have contributed to modern American history and culture.

Use the following outline to format your response:

Paragraph 1

  • Select 1 ethnic group.
  • Explain a specific contribution that this group made to American society or culture.

Paragraph 2

  • Evaluate the concepts of the melting pot and the American mosaic.
  • Which concept more accurately reflects the experiences of the ethnic group you chose? Support your assertion.

Respond to at least 2 or more of your classmates’ Discussion Board postings. Be sure to respond to your classmates’ postings with substantive and respectful responses.

Utilize proper grammar and university-level writing skills. Be sure to use correct APA citation format when citing sources.
