intellectual property attorney
Investigate and write the first half of your research paper on your previously approved topic: an entry-level position in a specific career you want to pursue after college. Whichever particular entry-level job you choose to research and write about, your choice must be realistic. For instance, a career as a physical therapist, pediatrician, or family law attorney is realistic; however, movie star, guitar hero, starting your own high technology firm (with no experience), or CEO of a major company is not realistic. Some successful choices for past research papers include:
¢ probation officer
¢ dietician
¢ intellectual property attorney
¢ App UI designer
¢ technical writer
¢ mechanical engineer
¢ high school PE instructor
¢ nurse
¢ specific medical professional ¢ pharmacist
Discuss the following subjects in the first half of the research paper (include in this order, with each as a separate section):
¢ Introduction: what the job is. Start wide and narrow to focus your audience’s attention to what you will write about, which is described in your research statement.
¢ The day-by-day activities of the job, meaning a snapshot of what people having this job do.
¢ What the career offers society; how the job affects the rest of us.
¢ Why people may be interested in this career.
¢ Required education and degrees.
¢ Continuing education requirement(s), if any.
¢ Required licenses, and by what governmental or professional organization.
¢ Legal requirements, such as credentials, fingerprinting or criminal background check
¢ Conclusion
All of the above areas of discussion requires some thought and research perhaps including your interviewing someone employed in such a position as well as both careful documentation of your sources and logical presentation of the facts.
