Agenda: Wed., 2/4

After settling into which company you are doing The Interview Script for, here are a couple of tasks that you are to start doing today within your groups, to help in the research process:

1) Inquiry e-mail to the business:
-Have someone on the team draft a professional-looking letter of inquiry that a. explains that you are doing it for a class project, and b. you want to know what kind of characteristics they look for in hiring someone into their company.

You may get a response, you may not, but this is part of the research process. For some help, go to page 117 of our text)


2) Library Research: Expanding beyond the workplace
-Everyone in the group should brainstorm together, and create a list of, various kinds of data and job-related material might be useful when discussing the available position. For example: there are theories, and standard practices and tools used within various fields. When you are about to interview someone, it is helpful to get to know some of what the experts know in that position...so...to the library! (http://www.chipublib.org/)
