\n Learning Goal: <\/b>I’m working on a english writing question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.<\/p>\n

In this step, begin by researching job listings, internships, and\/or graduate programs that you might be interested in pursuing in the next month to two years. Your focus is up to you. For example, you may decide to focus solely on one option (e.g., internships), or you may decide to look at all three options (job listings, internships, and\/or graduate programs), or just two.<\/p>\n

Be open to exploring. Cast a wide net.<\/p>\n

Q: Okay, but I’m already applying to an internship, job, or grad program this semester.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A:<\/strong> Okay, but you still need to do the assignment. Research other possibilities. Remember, this project is aimed at exploring options. For instance, thinking about grad school, but not sure what’s required or what a particular program offers? Now’s the chance to explore. Thinking of applying for jobs outside the U.S., but not sure how that works? Now’s you’re chance to find out. Do you have a “dream job” or “dream industry” you’d like to work at but aren’t sure what it would take to be a great candidate? Now’s a good chance to explore. You get the point.<\/p>\n

Q: Where do I look?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A: <\/strong>Last week’s pre-research <\/a>assignment had you explore SDSU internship\/job\/grad program resources. Begin there, but there are many other outside sources, especially for jobs, including Handshake

What to report<\/strong><\/p>\n

After you’ve researched several job listings, internships, and\/or graduate programs, narrow down your search to three possibilities.<\/strong> That is, from your wide-net research, identify three<\/strong> job listings, internships, and\/or graduate programs that you might like to apply to.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next, do a deep dive by visiting the websites of these three<\/strong> job listings, internships, and\/or graduate programs you selected.<\/p>\n

What to report:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Produce a three-six paragraph Write-Up of the website research you completed, one to two paragraphs<\/strong> for each<\/strong> job, internship, and\/or graduate program you’ve researched. Questions to be answered are below. Note, you need to do a one to two-paragraph write-up for each job, internship, and\/or graduate program you’ve researched.<\/strong><\/p>\n
