Need to write projects

  

Background: Read the article at the link below by Nicole Fallon “Destination Dream Job”. Pay close attention to the roadmap outlined in the article about career progression. Fallon outlines 4 steps that one needs to take to reach their career goal (see link below). Career experts have also shared their advice for mapping out a path to one’s ultimate dream job. Those steps include: (1) Know where you want to go, (2) Focus on the tools you need, (3) Find a guide, and (4) Be open to changing your route.

Your assignment : 

Plot your career direction based on each step in this roadmap.  For step #1 you should look at where you are now (what industry, job, position, etc.).  Also answer where you want to go (industry, job, position, salary, etc.) from here. For step #2, I would like you to go online and explore various job announcements and position descriptions to see what you need (what experience, degree, certification, interest, passion, etc.). In this context, I also would like you to state how pursuing this degree, and this course specifically, is a tool for the career direction in which you are going. Then for step #3, do you know anyone who might be a mentor; are you pursuing opportunities to network with like-mined professionals, etc. Finally, for step #4, is there some short-term deviation from your goal that you would accept – what is it?

It should take just a short paragraph that address each of the four steps mentioned above.  The background and online research for this assignment can be done collectively in your group. However, the findings must be specific for you individually and so your post must be individual.  As I have always mentioned, do not cut and paste information from other sources – I want  your  view and in  your  words.    As your reader, I want to be able to follow whatever sources you use, so support your views (and findings) with  at least two in-text citations . This means you will also need a reference list. For this assignment (only), a url  reference is acceptable (not usually acceptable for APA).   This is an  individual assignment  which must be accomplished by you alone. Please post your paper to iLearn  NLT 6/11 – 8pm EST.

When you are ready to post, click the Res Wknd Practical Connection assignment link, then Either click the “Write Submission” link and directly paste your document into this assignment box OR Browse your Computer and add the entire Microsoft Word document as an attachment (Mac users, please remember to append the “.docx” extension to the filename).

Project Description:

You are an account manager for Inland Jewelers, a regional company that makes custom class rings for graduating seniors. Your supervisor requested a workbook to report on new accounts created on payment plans. The report should provide details on total costs to the student as well as payment information. Each ring financed has a base price that can fluctuate based on ring personalization.

explaining how Russian trolls spread fake news.  Discuss  whether the government should regulate Facebook more closely.  

 reflect upon what you have learned in these past 8 weeks on  relative to the physical security and your current career or career goals. 

 Modify the Guessing game from chapters 6-7 to play with 2 players instead of 1 player by showing input and stats for player 1 and player 2.
– To end the game: You can ask for number of games to be played at the beginning of the game or you can ask the user whether to continue after each game.
– Display number of guesses for each player in addition to average number of guesses for each play.
– Show which player wins the whole match based on who has the least average number of guesses after the total number of games selected is over.
– When each game is played, change the output to display that the last guess is correct. Example: Congratulations! XXX is correct!
– When the players reach the total number of games chosen, or when the player chooses not to continue, display either: “Match over! Player 1 wins!” , OR “Match over! Player 2 wins!” , OR “Match over! It’s a tie!”
