• Did you know there were so many types of meteorologists and that they do so many different types of work?
• What sort of person decides to become a meteorologist? Would you ever consider it? Why or why not?
• Are you surprised by the education and training that are required for such a career? If your niece said she was interested in become a meteorologist, what advice would you give her to help fulfill this goal?  Please be as specific as possible.

Your assignment should be about 1-2 pages in length, double-spaced, with 1-inch margins and typed in 12-point Times New Roman. Each essay will be checked by Turnitin, generating an originality report, which will be available for you to see.  I strongly suggest that you rewrite any submission that has a similarity score greater than 15. Even if you quote and attribute quotes properly, a score that high or higher means you are not putting enough of your thoughts into the assignment.   Any sources used in the assignment must be cited and attributed correctly. Note that failure to do so constitutes plagiarism. All instances of plagiarism will result in a grade of zero for the assignment.  If you use sources for your essays, online sources are permitted, but encyclopedias, online, such as Wikipedia or Britannica Online and print, are not permitted. Please use APA style for your citations and include valid URLs for any online sources. 

The Earth’s global circulation pattern, Hadley Cell circulation, is governed by its rotation and thermal convection. Other planets in our Solar System also have atmospheres, so what are their circulation patterns and climates like? Read about Venus, Mars, and Jupiter at NASA’s Solar System Exploration site. More information can be found at The Nine Planets site.

• What are seasons like on your planet?

Individuals with avoidant and anxious attachment styles, also known as narcissists and co-dependents, often find each other and form unstable relationships. In this forum, define the notions of narcissism and codependency. Then explain why the two types get attracted to each other and why their relationship tends not to last. You may use the readings or the internet. But rephrase everything using your own words.

SITUATION

 

The USC Viterbi School of Engineering has been contacted by an alumnus who is interested in hiring student interns for her new company.  She has founded an IT consulting company that provides technical support and services in a variety of areas, with a special emphasis on addressing the needs of under-served communities. 

 

From the company’s job posting: 

 

Our IT Consultants work on site and are directly responsible for solving the technical needs of their assigned clients.  Our typical clients are small start-ups in under-served communities who lack the resources for in-house IT support. Our consultants arrive on site, assess the needs of the business, design and implement IT solutions for their specific challenges, and train employees to maintain the system.

 

Among the many duties our consultants perform and skills they possess:

 

• Ensure client satisfaction and trust.
• Work collaboratively with colleagues to resolve complex issues.
• Communicate with assigned clients to drive technical decisions,      manage project expectations and deliver ROI for projects, upgrades and      improvements.
• Scale solutions to the fiscal limitations of the client.
• Deliver regular status updates to support team, management, and      clients.
• Possess creativity, leadership, cross-cultural awareness, and      teaching skills.

 

Qualified applicants are asked to submit a cover letter and a writing sample to:

 

Dr. Jenna Jillette

 

Chief Technical Officer

 

Gillette IT Consulting

 

Los Angeles, CA 90089

 

Note: you may substitute a cover letter that you are preparing for a current job/internship as an alternative. You need to provide the job listing if you do this.

 

WRITING SAMPLE PROMPT

 

The writing sample should be approximately one page (approximately 500 words) and identify your thoughts on the technological innovation in your lifetime that is having or could have a significant impact on under-served communities.  What important factors are at play (i.e. social, economic, political)? Your response should reflect both research and depth of thought. The impact discussed can be positive, negative, a combination of positive and negative, or effects yet unrealized. 

 

WRITING TASKS FOR BOTH COMPONENTS

 

1. Write a cover letter tailored for this position and your skills and experiences. Or a cover letter for a position you are in the process of applying for or will apply for soon (provide the job listing you are applying for as a separate file).

Strive for conciseness, clarity and an appropriate tone

Steve Jobs was a strong, charismatic leader who co-founded Apple and is credited with much of the success of the company. Some believe that Tim Cook, who became CEO in 2011, embraces a more collaborative leadership style. Do research to compare and contrast the leadership styles of the two CEOs. (You may wish to view the 2013 movie JOBS, which portrays the story of Steve Jobs’ ascension from college dropout to Apple CEO.) Which CEO—Jobs or Cook—do you think developed and executed the most effective strategic plan? What evidence can you find to support your opinion?
