The Movement of the Sun (Informational Process)

First, the sun rises in the east.  It begins to come up in the sky until it reaches its highest point.  This is called noon.  After noon, the sun begins to go down in the western part of the sky.  It continues to go down until it disappears on the horizon.  We call this evening.  After that, the light goes away.  Now, it is night.

 

How people find jobs (Informational Process)

Finding a job is one of the most, if not the most, important things a person does in their life.  Every year, millions of people around the world, especially those leaving college, are in search of that first job of theirs.  When they get their job, they follow the following steps.

First, people make a resume.  A resume is a detailed, intricate analysis of your kills and experience that you want the employer to see.  People put things, such as the universities they attended, activities they were involved with, and skills they have acquired throughout their lives.

Once they have completed the resume, people send those out to employers they are interested in working for.  Many send their resumes out through the internet.  Some people go to public events, such as job fairs to make a connection with the employer and share their resume and information.

After that, if the employer likes the person’s information, they will contact them to set up an interview.  People prepare for the interview by focusing on their qualifications.  Also, they think of questions the employer might ask them and prepare possible answers to present themselves in the best way.

 

Finding a Job (Directional Process)

If you want to get a good job, follow these steps.  First, make sure that you are doing well in school so that you can attend a prestigious university.  Prestigious universities don’t always guarantee you get the best job, but you are more likely to get a high position if you went to a place like Harvard or UPenn than other places. 

While you are at the university, make sure you are getting experience in the field you are interested in.
