Pick a specific dream job position you would love to have in the ideal company you would love to work for (e.g., fashion buyer at Burberry).
2. Choose which of these factors is important to you when considering your dream job. Pick no more than three pros and three cons. (Note: sometimes something can be both a pro and a con.) Research the information to support your report. You must state why each factor is important in your decision.
* Position description and salary range
* History of the company
* Brief list of company locations
* Approximate number of and demographic breakdown of employees
* Kinds of products or services offered
* Clients served/customer demographics
* Competitors: Who are they and how do they compare to the company
* Latest news about the company (sales figures, new management, new line, etc.)
* Project future of the company
* Companys community involvement
3. In a minimum 2-page written memo, organized using a pros and cons approach, discuss your expectations of working in your dream job position. You should state whether or not this dream job is still a job you want.
4. You must have at least four sources. Your information must come from legitimate sources, not personal blogs or content farms sites (such as Yahoo, Hubpages, Wisegeek, Findarticles, Slideshare, Answers, Entrepreneur, Manta, Examiner, eHow, or About.com). Wikipedia is NOT a legitimate source. For more information you can interview current employees, view the companys website, and do research in library databases, Wall Street Journal and New York Times and the like, fashion trade magazines, GlassDoor.com, Hoovers.com, Indeed.com, and Vault.com.
