LONG REPORTPurpose: Long reports may be required of you no matter what your career field may be.This assignment requires you to prepare a long report that not only investigates your career field but that might persuade others to enter your field. Just as you did when preparing the proposal, you should assume the identity of a professional in your chosen field who is “recruiting.” For the sake of this assignment, pretend that I have agreed to let you come into my classroom to discuss your career, but first, I want to see a report about your career field that includes the information that you would be presenting to my students. You write the report as if it were the presentation that you will be making to students in order to persuade them to enter your career field. Chapter 16 of our text should help you to prepare your work.Your Long Report should:Be a minimum of eight pages long (this is the report itself–the 8 pages does not include the cover sheet, references, letters or any other parts). The entire portfolio should include all of the parts of a long report: Front Matter (letter of transmittal, title page, table of contents, list of illustrations and abstract), Text of Report (introduction, background, problem, purpose statement, scope, conclusions/recommendations) and Back Matter (References cited)

Please don’t use someone’s personal web page since you don’t know how credible their information is.Personal interviews: I strongly suggest that you interview one or more people who actually work in your dream job. The information you obtain from these interviews will help you to imagine yourself in the job and will give you specific details to use concerning your hypothetical position in a company.
