Hi, this has potential -- the evidence is apparent. Remember this

305W MODULE 2: CAREER OR ACADEMIC FIELD
RESEARCH REPORT
Landing a job in a chosen career or being accepted into a
graduate program is a
process that begins with knowledge of the field on your part
gained through research,
and ends with well-written application documents that
demonstrate your insights and
present you in a professional, persuasive way, with the goal of
convincing your readers
that you are the one they want to hire or admit.
Assessing the Rhetorical Situation:
• For this research assignment, you will be curating information
for your own future use;

therefore, your audience for this is you.
• In addition, you must write up this information in report form,
to succinctly show key
information gained from this research. Your audience for the
written report is your
instructor.
• Your overall goal is to gather relevant information to assist
you in crafting your future
resume and cover letter or statement of intent (future Module 3
assignment).
Learning Outcomes for this project:
• Obtain relevant information through effective research for
future use in resume,
cover letter or personal statement.
• Demonstrate abilities in synthesizing information and
documenting sources.
• Demonstrate the ability to write up an impartial summary of
relevant information
in the form of a concise, 3-4 pg. (double-spaced) professional
report, using a
straightforward, non-conversational and nonacademic style.
STEP 1: RESEARCH
The first step in the process is to conduct research to find out as
much specific
information as you can about your career or academic field, as
well as about the

organization to which you want to submit an application. Your
research goals should be
as specific and directed as possible. Look for the following
information:
1. Required qualifications that must be met in order to be
considered for the
position or program.
2. Requirements of doing the job or completing the grad
program.
3. Salary, benefits, advancement opportunities (job); costs,
financial aid, student
employment opportunities (grad school).
4. Relevant general facts & info: location, mission statement,
outreach, reputation,
etc.
5. Specific focuses within your career path or academic field:
research, individuals
of importance, newsworthy achievements, etc.
Use the links posted in the Research Resources folder on
Blackboard to get started, and
then perform a focused internet search to dig deeper. You are
required to use sources
both from the company’s or university’s own website AND from
sources outside their
own material. This ensures a thorough and unbiased mix of
sources.
STEP 2: WRITE THE REPORT:

1. The content of this report is based solely on the research you
do. It must include
specific information about the career or academic field you are
pursuing, as well
as relevant details about the specific company, organization or
university you will
apply to.
2. Document your sources in a detailed sources listing at the
end, and also attribute
all quotes and references made to those sources within your
text. This attribution
should be complete and integrated into your writing; for
example, you will
incorporate phrases such as, “According to the company’s
website,” or, “In an
article by X in the New York Times Business Section,” etc. Do
not use academic
style citations or footnotes. The style is more businesslike than
academic here.
3. Do not simply cut and paste information from sources; you
are to compose this
write-up, showing an ability to synthesize information,
paraphrase and quote directly
when appropriate (such as including key wording from a
mission statement), while
taking care to attribute information properly to their original
sources (see #2 above).

4. Do not include descriptions about yourself—This report is all
about the facts, and
not about how you feel about those facts, your process of
discovery, your goals,
or your interests. Keep your focus solely on the career or
graduate program, and
the company, organization or school you will be applying to (or
might be applying
to in the future).
HOW IT WILL BE GRADED:
Your report’s grade will be based on the following criteria:
• The quality of your research: Sources must be of high quality,
reflecting a
thorough and thoughtful research process, including an adequate
mix of
sources from both within and outside the company or school.
• The relevancy of the information in terms of helping you to
specifically
target your future resume and letter or statement of intent.
• The accuracy of quote and reference attribution, both within
your text (see
above details in #2 of How to Write the Paper) and in a sources
listing at the
end (this list can be in any style you wish—MLA, Chicago,

APA, or even your
own clearly organized & presented listing style). Be sure to list
names of
authors, articles and websites, not just the URLs.
• The quality of your writing: Well written sentences and
paragraphs, no
typos or writing errors, successful synthesis of researched
information, no
personal opinion, and easy-to-follow structure.
