Project Profile Formatting Expectations:
1). Company Profile Report: worth 15% of your final grade in the course
MUST be typed in 12 point font for the body of the paper. Headings can be 14 point font.
MUST be 2-4 double-spaced, typed pages which give me a good overview of what your company does, what the possible positions are, what the benefits are, salary ranges, number of employees, why you would or wouldn’t want to work there, education level required for the positions, etc. (whatever you choose to discover about your company).  MUST be at least TWO full pages and NO MORE than FOUR full pages. Remember, GIGO but enough for me to know you researched your Company. ** Note: Bullet Points DO NOT COUNT towards your page limit requirements!!! It is fine to use bullets in the Profile to show lists of items, but these bulleted lists will not count towards the required minimum three pages of writing.
** Note: Charts, graphics, pictures, logos, headers, etc. which take up space also do NOT count towards the minimum TWO pages of writing.
MUST discuss THREE of the optional choices for types of information to address within this report{see the end of page 2 and top of page 3 of this document}.
MUST CITE all sources you use using APA format; plagiarism is not tolerated.
MUST include In-text Citations to adequately give credit to sources immediately after quoting or paraphrasing information derived from sources. {Note: You would need provide in-text citations or footnotes after each sentence or paragraph where data/facts/statistics/quotes/or paraphrases are used which wouldn’t be personally known- meaning that you had to look up that information somewhere.  I realize that students might possibly work at the company they profile, but, even then, not ALL of information provided is likely off the top of their head.}
MUST contain MINIMAL errors to be considered professional, polished prose acceptable within a workplace. Be sure to proofread
SHOULD use headings for each section to make it easy to read -see examples posted under the “News” section of the Course Home page…your headings might include: company overview, positions available, salaries, benefits, education level required, number of employees and stores, other interesting info, company history, company accomplishments, etc.
CAN include tables, graphs, charts, pictures, logos, etc. to enhance the visual effect of the written report you’ll be turning in.
I know that list seems specific, BUT you do still have a lot freedom in deciding font type, font color, pictures to include, which types of information you will discuss, how much information under each section you will discuss, etc.
