Research Project
(PROJECT) Career Research
Google for articles, tweets, or blogs about jobs that sound interesting to you; after you read an article, spend a minute to RECALL what was discussed, then build an outline of main points you remember. Afterward, take a gander at your source material and fill in key points with your own words.
