After identifying a specific job\/internship or graduate program you want to apply for, take the time to dig deeper and make sure this is actually the path you want to take. In this exercise, you will answer a handful of questions to learn more about the details of your potential future choice. <\/p>\n
It is important to know what financial commitments you are about to make, if the lifestyle suits what makes you happy, and if there are next steps you need to consider taking. While you likely won’t have to answer every single one of these questions for every career choice in your life, it is a good guide to offer considerations that may have slipped through the cracks.<\/p>\n
If you are going the “Job Track,” please answer the set of questions labeled “JOB.” If you are going the “Grad Track,” please answer the second set of questions, labeled “GRAD.” <\/p>\n
Copy and paste the questions, and answer them in “complete fragments.”<\/strong> In other words, you do not need to restate the entire question, but make sure your answers are actually complete. Ex:<\/p>\n What is the title of the position in the job posting? *Note: There are three types of questions in these lists: recall, research, and conjecture. Recall<\/u> <\/strong>questions are those that have clear-cut answers you can find in the job posting or on the graduate program website. These often include title of position\/program, tuition, hourly commitment, etc. Research<\/strong><\/u> questions are those that require you dig a little deeper. You may need to call the organization for an answer, or you may need to look up similar positions. For instance, if there is no listed salary for a Technical Writer I, you will have to research the average salary of a Technical Writer I in whatever city you’re applying for. Lastly, conjecture<\/strong><\/u> <\/strong>questions are those that ask you to think critically and engage. These cannot be found on the website, and they will take a little bit of digging around. You may need to ask mentors or people in the field to get a better idea.<\/p>\n JOB<\/u><\/em><\/p>\n 1) What is the title of the position in the job posting?
