After reading the chapter about Job Search Strategy, complete the study items listed on the attached document. You must employ critical thought to your responses rather than copying content directly from the textbook. Consider study item number 1 regarding attributes and abilities employers seek for unfilled positions. Give consideration to the abilities and attributes (from your readings and your experiences) and present 3 or 4 list items that seem most important and describe why they seem most important. Your ideas, when supported, are just as valid as those presented in the textbook. Do the same for each study item. Be sure to follow pre comp document guidelines and proper list presentation guidelines. Indeed, you must also apply the composition rules presented in the Punctuation Review Packet (PRP) previously assigned. Some responses may require additional online research.

Instead, use the textbook content as a starting point toward demonstrating your understanding of the concepts presented. Your responses must be your ideas and must be written in your own words. This will require much thought and organization of those thoughts on your part. Be sure to reference where you got your ideas since they must come from other than the textbook!

Assignment Completion Guidelines • Apply the pre-comp document guidelines using the column labeled “Other” to assist with proper document style and format. • Number each response accordingly, and include only your responses in your submission; omit your name, course name, assignment name, and the actual question from this document. All I want to see are your properly formatted and styled, numbered responses to each study item listed. • Double space between responses. Since you will have precomped your documents’ line spacing to single line spacing, when you have typed the final punctuation mark for each response, you must press the Enter key twice; then, immediately click the numbering button in the toolbar, and begin typing the content for your next response. (Note: Double line spacing is shown between each of the five study items above; if the line spacing between each numbered response is larger than the line spacing shown between each study item above, you must correct this error prior to making your on-time submission. Using any other line spacing will result in a 10 percent deduction for failure to follow instructions.
