I do not know where to begin on this. Any help would be great.
The first thing you need to do is look at the job titles and their descriptions in two sources: newspaper and database.
Then choose one job from each source.
Create a resume.
If you get this far and still need help, please post another question.

It seems that the steps are clear. First, you need to decide what type of job(s) you want. This is why you might want to "Review the job titles and descriptions." Then follow the directions.
I hope this helps. If not, please repost with more specific questions that you might have. Thanks for asking.
i have already been through that class and done that assignment. good luck

To start with this assignment, you need to follow the given steps:
1. Review the job titles and descriptions: Look through a newspaper or an online job database to find two different job titles that interest you. Pay attention to the details in each job description, such as the required qualifications, responsibilities, and any specific instructions for applicants.
2. Select one job from each source: Choose one job title from the newspaper and another one from the online job database. Make sure both jobs appeal to you and align with your skills and interests.
3. Create a hardcopy resume: Use a resume template provided on the BAC (Business Administration Club) website or find one elsewhere that suits your needs. Fill in the necessary sections of the template with your personal information, education, work experience, skills, and any additional relevant information. Focus on presenting your qualifications in a concise and clear manner.
4. Create an online resume: Similar to the hardcopy resume, but this time the format should be suitable for online distribution. Consider using a website or an online platform where you can showcase your resume in an attractive and easily accessible format. Include hyperlinks to your professional profiles, portfolios, or any relevant online content.
5. Write a job-application letter: Choose one of the two resumes you created (either the hardcopy or online version) and write a job-application letter to accompany it. Use proper business letter format, address it to the appropriate recipient, and introduce yourself. Briefly explain your qualifications and why you are interested in the specific job. Customize the letter for each job application to make it more targeted and impactful.
6. Post your response: Once you have completed the above steps, post your response to the assignment question. Provide the job title and description for each job you selected and mention the main differences between your hardcopy and online resume submissions.
7. Attach your resumes and letter: Make sure to attach the resumes and job-application letter you created in the appropriate format or file type specified by the assignment instructions or platform.
Remember to proofread your work before submitting to ensure accuracy, professionalism, and effectiveness in conveying your qualifications and intent.
