Employment Communication Report

Employment Communication Report Guidelines

Project Overview

You are required to write a business report in which you address the following four subtopics:

The Role of Interpersonal Skills in the Job Search Process
Interpersonal Skills I Need to Strengthen and What I Am Currently Doing or Plan to Do to Strengthen Them
The Role of Professionalism Attributes in the Job Search Process
Professionalism Attributes I Need to Strengthen and What I Am Currently Doing or Plan to Do to Them
FYI: There are two sets of lecture notes in the Lecture Notes folder on Canvas that you should find helpful when completing this project. One is entitled Interpersonal Skills and the other Professionalism.

Research Requirements

Minimum of four sources. One can be an interview if you wish, while the others should be from articles and books.
Your report should contain a minimum of three quotations and/or paraphrases. These should be noted in the APA style in the report body and also on the Citations page at the end of the report.

Report Body

No “introduction” or “summary” sections. These should not be included in the Report Body section of your report or anywhere else for that matter. Instead, in the Report Body simply address the four subtopics listed in the first section (Project Overview section) of this document.
Margins: 1-inch side, top, & bottom margins
Font: Times New Roman
Side Headings: (The four side headings are highlighted immediately below this line.) – The Role of Interpersonal Skills in the Job Search Process – Interpersonal Skills I Need to Strengthen and What I Am Currently Doing or Plan to Do to Strengthen Them
– The Role of Professionalism Attributes in the Job Search Process

– Professionalism Attributes I Need to Strengthen and What I Am Currently Doing or Plan to Do to Strengthen Them

Boldface side headings but don’t italicize or underscore them, use 14-point type size, leave one blank line before each side heading starting with the second side heading, and do not leave a blank line immediately following each side heading. Use the exact same wording as above for each and address them in the same order as above.

Bulleted Listings: Some allowed, but don’t overdo it.
Sentences & Paragraphs: should not be boldfaced, use 12-point type size, single space paragraphs, leave one blank line between paragraphs, do not indent the first line of each paragraph, and citations in APA style.
