Post your Memo from Week 1 into the second thread. You will discuss the critical informatio n in the memos and along with the instructions below, will write a job announcement. All students on the team will receive the same grade unless a member fails to participate or does not carry his or her we ight in completing the project. These students will receive a zero or a reduced grade depending on the level of participation and contribution to the team project. Teams can consists of 2, 3 or 4 students but should not consists of more than four students. Team members are responsible for completing the project even if a team member does not fulfill his or her obligation of submitting the agreed upon work.

You received an email from the Vice -President . The email describes the specifications for a job announcement for new leaders at the company. You will create a job announcement that can be placed on Indeed.com by incorporating the memorandum details from each group member’s memo from week 1 , from the course material from week 1 and week 2 , and the Biotech Company Profile . You must use a mix of the course material and not be dependent on the company profile or the memos. You are not lifting chunks of information directly from the c ompany profile but taking key concepts and turning them into aspects of the job announcement. The group should seek to comply with the requirements of the Indeed website . [Note: Your team is not actually submitting on Indeed.com but the quality has to b e good enough for submission. At the same time, do not copy anything from Indeed.com, as this is your original work ] Step 2: Completing the Job Announcement To complete the job announcement:  Define the term ‘leader’ that fits Biotech. You are not taking an existing definition and applying it to Biotech. You must create an original definition.  Identify the characteristics new leaders at Biotech will possess to accomplish its vision;  Identify the leadership style(s) encouraged by Biotech’s definitio n. Note: You are expected to be thoughtful in completing the requirements as there are specific leadership characteristics and style(s) that best fit Biotech's.

The template will help students identify critical informa tion for the job a nnouncement. The job announcement must have a narrative and is not a compilation of bullets for the leadership aspect of the project. Remember that this job announcement related to leadership. Step 3: Explanatory Document In a separate document, provid e a 2 -3 page, double -spaced explanation explaining :  How and why the job announcement reflects the themes and specific readings from week 1 and week 2.  The reasoning for the choice of language used in the job announcement.

Use the grading rubric while completing the project to ensure all requirements are met that will lead to the highest possible grade.  Third person writing is required.

If uncertain how to write in the third person, view this link: http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/first -second -and -third - person .  Contractions are not used in job announcements , so do not use them.  Paraphrase and do not use direct quotation marks. This means you do not use more than four consecutive words from a source document, but put a passage from a source document into your own words and attribute the passage to the source document. Provide the page or paragraph number. Note that a reference within a reference list cannot exist with out an associated in -text citation and vice versa.  You may not use books as source material. Step 5: Submit Project in the Assignment Folder You will submit in the Assignment Folder t wo documents:  Job Announcement labeled, Group #, Smith, K – Job Announcement . This document contains both job announcement and explanatory element of the project.  Leadership Template labeled, Group #, Smith K. – Leadership Template All students will submit the final agreed upon job announcement in the Assignment Folder. Student who submit a project different from other classmates will receive the group grade unless it is deemed that no work or almost no work was performed as a team member. It is incumbent upon every student to verify the assignment is the correct submission. No exceptions will be considered by the instructor).
