For this assignment, you should search the Internet or print media (newspapers and magazines) to look for advertisements on job vacancies. It is appropriate for you to choose advertisements that relate to you career interest. When you find one that you are interested in, bring it to class. We shall brainstorm over that advertisement and find possible means to use it to do the assignment, and you will write a resume and application letter, in response to the advert you choose. In this sense, the assignment will be related to something concrete, which will challenge you to pay attention to the rhetorical factors that are likely to influence your writing style. See this assignment as a conduit pipe to getting a job during or after school. This assignment will be done based on the discussions in chapter 15 of the class textbook.

Goals: What Is Your Primary Aim?

I've been thinking of a good way to begin this entry, and there's probably no better way to start than by sharing with you what Michael Gerber wrote in his book, The E-Myth Revisited:

"I’d like you to imagine that you are about to attend one of the most important occasions of your life.

It will be held in a room sufficiently large to seat all of your friends, your family, your business associates -- anyone and everyone to whom you are important and who is important to you.

Can you see it?

The walls are draped with deep golden tapestries. The lighting is subdued, soft, causing a warm glow on the faces of your expectant guests. Their chairs are handsomely upholstered in a golden fabric that matches the tapestries. The golden carpeting is deeply piled.

At the front of the room is a dais, and on the dais a large, beautifully decorated table, with candles burning at either end.

CLICK HERE to get this paper!!

On the table, in the center, is the object of everyone’s attention. A large, shining, ornate box. And in the box is . . . you! Stiff as the proverbial board.

Do you see yourself lying in the box, not a dry eye in the room?

Now, listen.

From the four corners of the room comes a tape recording of your voice. Can you hear it? You’re addressing your guests. You’re telling them the story of your life.

How would you like that story to go?

That’s your Primary Aim.

What would you like to be able to say about your life after it’s too late to do anything about it?

That’s your Primary Aim.

If you were to write a script for the tape to be played for the mourners at your funeral, how would you like it to read?

That’s your Primary Aim.

CLICK HERE to get this paper!!

And once you’ve created the script, all you need to do is make it come true.

All you need to do is begin living your life as if it were important.

All you need to do is take your life seriously. To create it intentionally. To actively make your life into the life you wish it to be."

What is your primary aim?

At a restaurant, a waiter comes to your table and asks, “Which entrée would you like?” Pretend, for a moment, that I’m your waiter, at the restaurant of life. And now I’m asking you: What do you want? Who do you want to become? Note, I’m not asking for your opinion on what is possible and what isn’t, or your opinion on what you think you’re capable of and what you aren’t. I’m asking you: What do you truly and seriously want in life?

Do you know? Have you ever taken the time to seriously examine what it is you want most? To sit down quietly with pen and paper in hand and write down -- as specific and as detailed as possible -- your aspirations, your goals?

If not, why? It’s been said that Americans spend more time planning their vacations than they do planning their lives. Does that include you?

CLICK HERE to get this paper!!

This task is not easy. It’s absolutely amazing, as I’ve found from my own experience, how difficult it can be to figure out what we want in life. But we absolutely must do this, because if we do not, what will become of us? How would we spend our time?

Zig Ziglar wrote:

Howard Hill was probably the greatest archer who ever drew a bowstring. He was so accurate, he killed a bull elephant, a Bengal tiger, and a Cape buffalo with a bow and arrow. In newsreels, I have seen him repeatedly hit the target dead center. After sending the first arrow to the center of the bullseye, he would then literally split that arrow with his next shot.

Now, I have never shot the bow and arrow to any degree. But I’m here to tell you that if your health is good and your eyesight is good, I could spend 30 minutes with you, and at the end of those 30 minutes, I would have you hitting the bullseye more consistently than Howard Hill did on the best day he ever had.

Provided, we first blindfolded Howard Hill. And spun him around a few times so that he would have no idea which way he was facing.

I hear you saying, “Zig, that’s ridiculous! Of course he’d lose! How on earth could you possibly hit a target you couldn’t see?” That’s a good question. Here’s a better one:

How can you hit a target you don’t even have?

The Victorian world in which Kate Chopin lived and wrote was one of strong social restraints. The rules and expectations of marriage, the exaltation of romantic love, and the dominance of the husband over the wife prevented many Victorian women from viewing their circumstances honestly. Write an essay in which you show that Mrs. Mallard in “The Story of an Hour” is–or is not–a victim of Victorian attitudes toward marriage. Support your argument with evidence from Mrs. Mallard’s thoughts in the aftermath of her husband’s presumed death.

Visual Impression and Organization Analysis

Visual Impression and Organization Analysis 

CLICK HERE to get this paper!!

Task: Choose a short brochure OR choose a home page on the web. Imagine that you are an
external media consultant who has been asked to critique the brochure or home page.
Concentrate your analysis on visual impression and organization (which should be related to
who you think the audience is, what context it’s for, and how it’s used). Skip all direct comment
about content, style and conventions, even though they would matter in reality.
Discussion: In any critique, point out good and bad things and explain why you think things are
good or bad. Organize your observations carefully. Lumping your analysis into two huge
paragraphs of “good things” and “bad things” or critiquing your brochure page-by-page are both
bad approaches. Since you plan to continue working with this organization, word your
observations carefully – and ethically. Provide enough detail to show you have considered this in
depth (go beyond the obvious or surface features)


1Parameters: Because this is external, it’s a letter.
 Include a copy of your brochure or a printout of your home page w/ the url.
 If you wish, you may do this assignment with a partner (one copy, one grade).
 Grading criteria are the eight aspects, applied to what you write.
Evaluation: Your content is assessed by…
 What you notice (look closely)
 How well you explain why things are good and/or bad
 What suggestions you might have for keeping/changing things.

Submit 1 reply that are 300–600 words in response to a classmates' thread. In the reply, indicate whether you agree with the other classmates' opinions, why their assessment of the situation is or is not accurate, why the original posting is or is not in agreement with your assessment of the situation, and what should be done differently. For each thread and each reply, you must support your assertions with at least 3 outside sources (other than the text and course materials) and cited in current APA format. Acceptable sources include: books, legal cases, articles, the Bible, etc. Sources should be more substantial than basic internet dictionaries.

If Concordat does not so notify Employee and Employee nonetheless in good faith believes that such Invention constitutes a Non-Assigned Invention, then Employee shall inform Concordat within thirty (30) days of the end of the period set forth in the preceding sentence, setting forth reasons for such belief. If within thirty (30) days of Concordat's receipt thereof Concordat informs Employee that it disagrees, then the parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve their disagreement. Employee shall bear the burden of proving that such Invention constitutes a Non-Assigned Invention.

d. Unless proven otherwise, any Invention shall be presumed to have been conceived during Employee's employment with Concordat if within one (1) year after termination of such employment such Invention is disclosed to others, is completed, or has a patent application filed thereon.

When developing a product or service for Concordat, (i) Employee shall abide by all of the terms, conditions and policies of Concordat related to development; (ii) Employee shall abide by the terms of any separate agreement between Employee and Concordat related to the development; and (iii) if Employee chooses to include or refer to any materials for which Employee owns the copyright, then Employee hereby grants, and agrees to grant, to Concordat a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works of, distribute, perform, and display such materials (in whole or in part) worldwide and/or to incorporate them in other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed, solely in connection with marketing the products.

5. RETURN OF PROPERTY. Upon termination of employment with Concordat, Employee shall deliver promptly to Concordat all records, manuals, books, forms, documents, letters, memoranda, data, tables, photographs, video tapes, audio tapes, computer disks and other computer storage media, and copies thereof, that are the property of Concordat, or that relate in any way to the business, products, services, personnel, customers, practices, or techniques of Concordat, and all other property of Concordat (such as, for example, computers, mobile telephones, tablets, pagers, credit cards, and keys), whether or not containing Confidential Information, that are in Employee' possession or under his control.

6. REASONABLENESS OF RESTRICTIONS. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary for the protection of Confidential Information and business and to prevent damage or loss to Concordat as a result of any action of Employee. Employee specifically acknowledges and agrees that because of the world-wide coverage and accessibility of the Internet, it is not possible to limit further the geographic scope of the restrictions described in Paragraph 3 above in a manner that would still provide reasonable protection for the legitimate interests of Concordat.

7. REMEDIES FOR BREACH. Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that any breach by Employee of the provisions of this Agreement may cause Concordat irreparable harm for which there is no adequate remedy at law. Therefore, Concordat shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies available, to injunctive or other equitable relief to require specific performance or to prevent a breach of the provisions of this Agreement. Any delay by Concordat in asserting a right under this Agreement or any failure by Concordat to assert a right under this Agreement will not constitute a waiver by Concordat of any right hereunder, and Concordat may subsequently assert any or all of its rights under this Agreement as if the delay or failure to assert rights had not occurred.

8. NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS. This Agreement does not require Concordat to employ Employee for any particular length of time and does not restrict the ability of Concordat to terminate the employment relationship. Except as provided in a separate written agreement signed by the Concordat Chief Executive Officer or his designee, Employee's Concordat employment is at-will.

9. PARTIAL INVALIDITY. In the event that any portion of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, that invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the other portions of this Agreement and the remaining terms and conditions, or portions thereof, shall remain in full force and effect. A court of competent jurisdiction may so modify the objectionable provision as to make it valid, reasonable, and enforceable. It is the intention of the parties that the restrictions imposed by this Agreement be enforced to the maximum permissible extent.

10. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

11. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement and any disputes arising out of it shall be governed by the laws of the State of Arizona without regard for the conflicts of law principles of any state.

12. FORUM SELECTION. Any disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be litigated only in Arizona state courts or in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, and Concordat and Employee hereby consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction over them for that purpose by Arizona state courts and the United States District Court for the District of Arizona.

LICENSEE shall pay LICENSOR an annual license fee of $10,000 payable by February 28 of each year, beginning February 28, 2014, as long as Janessa Bailey remains an employee of LICENSEE.

you have to read the two contracts, Shell and answer the following questions.

there will be 3 attachment,
Use the Confidentiality Agreement to answer questions 1-9.
Use the License Agreement to answer questions 10 – 20.


Question 1

From the confidentiality agreement, a consideration can be deduced by a keen leaner. The consideration has not been explained vividly but in my own opinion, any contract has terms. The employee is required to abide by the agreements in return for a prolonged engagement with the firm. The organization will benefit and at the same time, the employee benefits.

Question 2

According to the document, an employee is not expected to work for a competitor until a period of 12 months elapses since the time the employee left concordat.

Question 3

The five things that the employee is expected to do are:

i. Martin should notify his new employer about the existence of the agreement. In addition, he should provide the employer a copy of the agreement.

ii. Martin should not provide any form of assistance to the competitor until 12 months are over.

iii. He should not in any way try to convince current concordat employees to stop working for the organization (Sub paragraph 3)

iv. Martin is expected to return the property which belongs to the organization ( sub paragraph 5)

v. The employee will shall not request for any additional compensation.

CLICK HERE to get this paper!!

Question 4

It will be deemed that he made the invention while still working at concordat because 12 months are not over since he left (paragraph number 4a).

Question 5

According to the terms, it is not possible to define the exact geographic borders because the use of the internet may not assure geographic protection (Paragraph 6)

Question 6

The agreement reveals that an amount not exceeding $100 per invention will be given out evenly among all those who participated in the invention (paragraph 4, b). Therefore he will receive at most $20000.

Question 7

It means that Concordat can take appropriate actions against those who breached the contract.

Question8

Concordat does not offer permanent jobs. It can hire and fire at its discretion.

CLICK HERE to get this paper!!

Question 9

It means that the agreement may contain inapplicable premises but that will not affect the validity of the agreement. The agreement will always be termed correct.

Question 10

If the rights were considered invalid by the law, then the agreement will be overruled because the laws of the state are superior (paragraph 11). In addition, the employee shall grant a royalty fee to the organization (paragraph 4)

Question 11

The licensee should use the marks appropriately as indicated by the licensor (paragraph 6) the licensee has a responsibility to notify the licensor of any unauthorized use of the mark. The licensee should also initiate unfair competition proceedings where he/she will bear the costs. The benefits from the proceedings shall also be enjoyed by the licensee (paragraph 7)

Question 12

The licensor may terminate the agreement once 10 days of written notice to the licensee elapses. It is a violation of section 4 and six (paragraph 9)

Question 13

It is not a violation of agreement (paragraph 6). The licensee shall accept the marks in the form that is prescribed by the licensor.

CLICK HERE to get this paper!!

Question 14

1. Concord shall pay a specified interest to the licensor (paragraph 2).

2. The initial installment (annual installment) at a specified date.

Question 15

Concord shall discontinue the use of the marks. It is also expected to destroy anything that has the marks (paragraph 10)

Question 16

The consideration is that both parties must honor the terms of the contract.

Question 17

The evidence comes out from the fact that both parties meet the terms of the contract. The licensor has what the licensee wants. The licensee has also confirmed that it will abide by what is required.

Question 18

It refers to something that has no geographical boundaries and that its rights cannot be transferred to the other party.

CLICK HERE to get this paper!!

Question 19

Paragraph 2, If Janessa ceases to be an employee of concord, then new terms shall be arranged.

Question 20

The dispute will be held in a forum comprising parties from the licensee. They will discuss the matter while considering results that will occur if Janessa leaves the organization.

Question 21

This contract will last for one year (paragraph 2). However, it is perpetual in nature. If the licensee abides by the requirements, the contract shall be renewed (paragraph 8)
