Module 4 Discussion
Giving Career Advice
You have received an email from a graduating student, the
son or daughter of an acquaintance. This young person wants advice: How does he
or she get a job like yours?
The student asks, “What do I have to do? What is the
most important advice you can give me? Was there an element of luck in your
career choice, and your success? If so, can you explain to me what it
was?”
Compose the two or three paragraph reply. Be clear, concise,
logical and effective. You are free to advise the student to either pursue your
career, or to avoid it.
Following your reply, explain exactly you think it is
effective. As before, you should make full use of the module sources, providing
citations and references as necessary.
Your analysis of your own letter, like your analyses of your
classmates’ letters, should be complete, concise, logical, relevant, positive
and constructive. Be sure to use proper English.
Discussion 4 Expectations
Respond to the request in an informed, rigorous and
professional manner. Your response should demonstrate an application of the
concepts as well as a reflection of your personal experience. Since Module 4 is
a cumulative Module, you may draw upon concepts from any of the preceding
Modules.
Discussion General Expectations
In each discussion forum, students are expected to respond
to the topic by providing an informed, rigorous, and professional post. These
should be around 100-150 words. In addition, students are required to respond
at least 3 times to your classmates’ posts in a similarly informed, rigorous
and professional manner.
