Be sure to use the “page break” feature. This is important when sharing documents with others because formatting changes when readers use different software to open files. You want to be sure your audience views your document in the same way you created it. The Cover Letter The cover letter should cover the following information (organize in the way that makes the most sense with the information you are presenting): • Why you chose the interview subjects and careers you did • An overall conclusion on how you think the interviews went

What you learned from each interview about the skill of interviewing and yourself as an interviewer and how you applied that knowledge to each subsequent interview.

What you learned from each interview about the career, the interview subject, yourself (discuss any or all) • What you learned about summarizing and analyzing • Discuss how your approach to each summary and analysis stayed the same and changed • Discuss why you chose the career fair artifact you did and why you decided to focus on the career(s) you did • Overall conclusions on interviewing and careers Summaries and Analyses of Interviews Over the course of two weeks, you will conduct two to three interviews about two to three different careers. You cannot interview two people about the same career.

Your interviews can be done in person, via the phone, or via video conferencing, but they cannot be email or text interviews. The analysis of each interview will vary depending on focus, and the detailed instructions to these will be found on Moodle when you submit them. You will receive feedback from your peers so that you can revise before submitting your portfolio. *You are required to do two interviews, but you may do a third for extra credit. Career Fair Artifact Imagine that you are part of a team at ATU that is putting together a career fair for students who are undecided about their major or who want to explore other options.

Career Investigation project

Everyone on the committee had to interview three people about their careers in order to find candidates to come present at the career fair. After conducting the interviews, each person on the committee was also responsible for creating one artifact to help make the career fair successful. You will choose one thing from the list to create: • A flyer to be distributed around campus prior to the event to recruit people to come to the fair. It must advertise what types of careers will be presented at the fair (from your interviews)

• A flyer to be hung in front of the career fair advertising one of the keynote speakers (one of the people you interviewed). Career Investigation project https://youtu.be/qZvHE6VMrbs
