This paper to conduct a thorough analysis of a prospective employer.
Specifically, will ask you to do the following:
- Identify a position that you plan to “pursue” throughout the course. Please be very selective with this position, as you will not be permitted to change or alter it moving forward. Make an electronic copy of the position listing (not the link to the job ad) for your records and for future use in the course.
- Conduct a review, benchmark and analysis of the position in question. You should know not only all about the position as advertised, but have a comparative analysis to several similar open positions.
- Conduct a complete review of the company for the primary position. This should include a historical review, analysis of available financial information, and any other information that is available about that particular organization.
Once you have conducted this research, you will compose the report, which should adhere to the following guidelines:
- Be formatted as a memo report (single spaced, double spaced between paragraphs, with no paragraph indents and a size 12 font throughout)
- Be a minimum of 2 full pages, with a maximum of 4 full pages
