Overview
Now that you have been assigned a role on the team, it is your responsibility to make the Project Manager aware of the knowledge, skills, and abilities you bring.
Locate a job posting on indeed.com, glassdoor.com, monster.com, or other job boards and read the description of the position. This can be the same one you identified in the discussion for this week. What skills do they specifically call for in your area of expertise? These should sound familiar. This will give you an idea of what real employers are looking for now in your discipline.
Take some time to review previous assignments submitted during your time at Strayer or even deliverables you may have submitted while on the job during your time at Strayer, focusing specifically on the pieces that relate to your area of study. Take notes as you review to use to inform your assignment submission.
