2020 1st Nine Weeks Assignment

This assignment is an individual assignment.

Part 1

Research and select a company or organization for a work-based learning project in a healthcare or biotechnology area of choice (USE below for a list). Cite specific textual evidence from the organization’s literature, as well as independent news articles to summarize:

1. The mission/history of the organization-the "about us" of the company; anything that relates history
2. Headquarters and organizational structure-where are they located-how organized?
3. Products or services provided-what do they do? what do they "sell" or "provide"
4. Credentials required for employment and how they are obtained and maintained-what do I need               to work at the company (pick a job if you needed)
5. Policies and procedures-any that relate to employment/patient or just in general about company
6. Reports, newsletters, and other documents published by the organization-how do they                             communicate with public and/or employees
7. Website and contact information-list this information-give web address and contact info

       Search for the resumes of medical professionals and bio technologists retrieved from the websites of institutions, organizations, or professional networks.  Create your own "future" personal resume modeled after elements identified in the search. Think about the job you would want at that place of employment...build your resume so that when going to an interview your resume would standout. This resume is not factual, at least not now...this is based on where you want to be with your future resume.

       In preparation for a future career in healthcare-medical field or biotechnology, compose a cover letter following guidelines specified in the vacancy announcement.

All of these activities that you are completing (1-7, resume, cover letter) will be turned in through your Teams Class Notebook in the tab titled "Biotech-Hospital Research". Please organize this assignment in the notebook in the following order:

add 1 page-title should be: Name of Company-#1-7
