Diagnostic Essay -

For this assignment place yourself at the end of your college career. You have graduated with a degree in your chosen field and are now looking for a job. Problem: look around you -- all of your classmates are seeking jobs too. The way you get your "dream job" is to write a two to three page essay where you present yourself and your assets to the boss. Keep in mind that everyone in the class is a "hard worker" and is qualified. Please give specific details.
