ASSIGNMENT #5

INDUSTRY / COMPANY RESEACH


General Overview

1. Earlier, on Week 1, we saw how setting an employment goal gives direction and purpose
to you and your job search.

2. Last week, you learned more about your skills, values and interests that also helps you
zero in on what you have to offer. People who have a good understanding of their
strengths and values typically perform better in interviews and make more informed
employment related decisions.

3. Therefore, “knowing yourself” is an important step in the job search process. The next
step is “knowing the job market” you will be approaching in your search.
