1 Student Name IBA 135 – Fall 2021 Career Exploration Research Paper The major writing assignment in IBA 135 is a career exploration research paper. The paper has five major sections; each section requires a minimum of 1- 2 typed, double -spaced pages for a total of 7- 10 pages. In addition, you will prepare a Works Cited /References list that will conform to APA format. Please use the rubric as a guide. Your paper should begin with a short introductory paragraph that provides an overview of what you will discuss. Please make sure you use a traditional font (Times New Roman, 12 point) and indent paragraphs. There should be 1 -inch margins on all sides. Using headings throughout the paper will help you stay focused as you write. Acad emic essays should have a structure, be coherent, with logical progression throughout, and cohesive, with the different parts of the writing clearly connected. Part 1: Introduction: Self -Assessment In the introductory section of your paper, describe how you decided on this career for your research. You should explain how both your educational background and work history have informed this decision. Using the results of the Career Inventory (and any other career questionnaires / surveys / assessments that you have taken), why do you think this career is a match for your personality, abilities, interests and values. Though you will be writing about your personal experiences please make sure you maintain an academic writing style. Academic wr iting should use clear and precise language to ensure the reader understands the meaning (i.e., do not use slang or informal language). 2 Part 2: Employment Sector Data In this section, detail the education, certificates/licenses and skills necessary for a career in the employment sector that you have selected. Most of the information you will need can be found in the data bases included in the IBA 135 Research Guide. Remember to write down the sources that you use so that you can cite them in this section of your paper. An academic essay should include relevant examples, supporting evidence and information from academic texts or credible sources. Part 3: Job Option(s) in the Employment Sector for College Graduates You will need to either interview someone for this section of the essay or include information about the lived experience of someone in your career of interest (e.g., YouTube video). Imagine that you meet eligibility requirements for one or more positions based on your educational background (baccalaureate degree) and prior work experience. What might you anticipate if you accep ted a position (working conditions, schedule, salary, benefits, training, and opportunities for advancement)? If possible, interview someone employed in this field currently. What do they like and dislike about their job? What advice would they give you? If you do not have access to someone in your field, you could see if the Career Center could help you arrange to talk with a Lehman alumnus/alumna. You could also interview a faculty or staff member who has come from the employment sector that interests you. An informational interview (conducted in person (if the conditions are safe ), on the phone, or via email) can count as one of your five sources. Keep complete interview notes (or, with the individual’s permission, an audiotape) and make sure to get contact information (full name, official job title) since you will need it for your Works Cited list. Since you may want to include a specific quotation, make sure to indicate 3 direct quotations by using “quotation marks in your notes. ” Part 4: Job Outlook in the Employment Sector This section focuses on: What are some current issues as well as projected changes in this field? You will need to use something besides an online database to write this portion of the essay - you will need to find a book, professional journal, news article, or monograph that spells out challenges as well as opportunities (Farmer, 200 4) . Part 5: How I Can Prepare Myself for Success Outline the steps you will take including specifics on a choice of major, paid or unpaid work experiences, and extracurricular activities (clubs, organizations, honor societies, and service learning opportunities). How will you build a resume over the years you spend pursuing your undergraduate degree? You may decide to conduct an informational interview with an academic advisor, career counselor, student activities administrator, or faculty member to develop this part of your paper. However, you should not interview the same person you did before. The interview can be counted as one of your five sources. Keep complete interview notes (or, with the individual’s permission, an audiotape) and make sure to get contact information (full name, official job title) since you will need it for your Works Cited list. Since you may want to include a specific quotation, make sure to indicate direct quotations by using quotation marks in your notes. 4 References Part 6 is the References page. You will need at least five sources that you will paraphrase or quote in the text (using correct form for in -text citations). At the end of the paper, you will include a Works Cited /References list. A majority of your sources will be online databases, but at the very least I expect that you will read and make use of one book, book chapter, or professional journal article/monograph, or news article . Please make sure your references are in APA style. For example, all lines after the first line of each entry in your reference list should be indented one -half inch from the left margin. This is called hanging indentation. All authors' names should be inverted (i.e., last names should be provided first). Authors' first and middle names should be written as initials.
