The job search process can involve a lot of research, writing, patience, and luck.<\/p>\n<p>No matter what field you\u2019re in or what kind of job you\u2019re after, you need to be able to present yourself professionally in documents such as letters and r\u00e9sum\u00e9s, and in face-to-face communication situations. This project asks you to compose a few documents related to finding a job. You will need to find a <strong>real job listing<\/strong> to use as the basis for your project. This listing should be for a job you could legitimately apply for after graduation.All of the documents you write will be geared toward getting this job. Hopefully, once this project is done, you will have documents you can reuse or use as templates to generate professional job search documents in the future.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: block; text-align: right; margin-top: -2em; margin-right: 30px;\"><span id=\"components\" class=\"anchor\"> <\/span><span class=\"arrowtop\" style=\"font-size: 150%; opacity: 0.7;\"><a href=\"#top\">\u2305<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<h4>Components<\/h4>\n<p>Your job search portfolio must include the following:<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: right; width: 295px; padding: 5px 10px; margin-left: 10px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f3e5f5; border-radius: 4px; width: 275px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 5px 10px; box-shadow: 2px 2px 4px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);\">\n<div style=\"font-size: 90%; text-align: center; width: 100%; color: #c792d5; letter-spacing: 0.05em;\">COMPONENTS SUMMARY<\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size: 120%; text-align: center; width: 100%; border-bottom: 2px solid #C792D5; padding-bottom: 7px; margin-bottom: 7px;\"><span class=\"sha-pur\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Job Search Portfolio (30%)<br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size: 96%; font-weight: 300; padding: 0 5px 5px; text-align: center;\">Job Advertisement with Annotations<br \/>\nCover Letter<br \/>\nTraditional R\u00e9sum\u00e9<br \/>\nScannable R\u00e9sum\u00e9<br \/>\nInterview Question Responses<br \/>\nThank-You Correspondence<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f5f5f5; border-radius: 4px; width: 275px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 5px 10px; box-shadow: 2px 2px 4px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);\">\n<div style=\"font-size: 90%; text-align: center; width: 100%; color: #999; letter-spacing: 0.05em;\">ADDITIONAL<\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size: 120%; text-align: center; width: 100%; border-bottom: 2px solid #999; padding-bottom: 7px; margin-bottom: 7px;\"><span class=\"sha-gray\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notes, Documents, Resources<br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"gray\" style=\"font-size: 96%; font-weight: 300; padding: 0 5px 5px; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1uyd5W5ueTAFmKAUHIp4jRpO5HCrzp-Yp\/view?usp=sharing\">sample submission document<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/techrhet.com\/3213\/notes\/save-export-file-as-pdf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">save files as pdf<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zQEdGYt-2O8\" data-rel=\"lightbox-video-0\">upload multiple<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MnVxxTX0azQ\" data-rel=\"lightbox-video-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">files to canvas<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"#jsp-rubric\">jsp evaluation rubric<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"padding-left: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; list-style-type: square;\"><span class=\"sha-pur\">(Annotated) Job Advertisement<\/span><sup>*<\/sup> for a desirable, real job in your field that you could likely obtain directly after graduation (see <a href=\"#ad-guidelines\">advertisement guidelines<\/a>).
