Cover page with your name, course name and number, and date

Section 2: Table of Contents – this section should look like the table of contents for a book and list the sections 3 – 7 and the pages in which the sections appear (worth 10 points).
Section 3: Locate a Career Opening
Browse the Internet for a career opening that is advertised in your chosen field of study and that requires a college degree or certificate if you are pursuing a certificate program. Copy and paste this advertisement onto a Microsoft Word document (5 points).
Section 4: Research the Company of Interest
A mistake made by many job seekers is failure to research the company in which they are seeking employment. Research on the front end of the job search process, saves you from a headache later. Most people just wait until they are hired to find out about a company. That is not wise. If you do your research, you might discover that you do not like the company and you will be able to not waste your time applying for a job with a company that is not suitable. So, save yourself from having a headache and conduct your research of the company before applying to any company. Your next task is to research the company/organization that you found the career opening from section 3. Develop a background analysis of the company. Make sure your analysis is thorough and include at least the following: history and hierarchy of the company, benefits, salary, opportunities for promotion/advancement, size of company, mission statement, diversity/equity/inclusion statement, and any other relevant information. Discuss the items listed in the background analysis (30 points).
Section 5: Chronological Resume
Prepare a chronological resume (with action verbs) that is catered to the position listed in your advertisement. Use size 14 fonts for heading and size 12 fonts for all other information. Do NOT use an online template. See the video in the Chapter 6 module for ideas and formatting information (100 points).
Section 6: Cover Letter
Prepare a cover letter that coincides with your resume and the position listed in the advertisement. See the link in the Chapter 6 module for ideas. (50 points).
