Informational Interview

Informational interviews are helpful to learn about different career positions available for a company or department you would be interested in working for long-term. A person’s rank does not matter, but you should aim to talk with someone who has enough experience to give you informed insights. Because there is no job on the line and no immediate professional risk to you, you can ask candid questions about the position and learn if that is something you would really like to do (or somewhere you would really like to work). Still, you are making an impression on them and they are sharing their time with you, so do your research. Ask informed questions and indicate a serious interest in their work. Later on, they might remember you for a position and, hey, you get a job!

For this work, you will find a prospective contact who has a job you might like to have later in your professional career and get a 30-minute informational interview with that. Please see the rubric for a full list of the required elements and see https://www.wikihow.com/Write-a-Reflection-Paper for some guidance about writing

How the recent elections in Congress will affect the United States economy

 

1. How do you think the recent elections in Congress will affect the United States economy?

2. Do you think that the minimum wage should be increased? Explain.

3. What economic trends (a pattern; an indicator that shows how a region or country is doing financially) do you foresee for the 2021 year and that we should be watching?

Cloud Technologies

 

Scenario:
Management is impressed with your work and is now convinced that cloud is the best option to achieve strategic goals. However, the managers want to see a prototype, or proof of concept, so you decide to build a simple cloud solution as a demonstration. In your presentation, you had recommended AWS as a provider, so you will build your solution on AWS.

Instruction:
This week, you will complete your proof of concept and submit the report. This is the final report to management before the actual cloud deployment process begins.

Use the Proof-of-Concept Report Template to prepare a report that shows the steps and results for the proof of concept. In the template, you will see specific instructions. Delete the instruction text before you submit the project.

Your report should:

Be between five to seven pages (plus an appendix for screenshots, cover page, and table of contents)
Address the topics listed in the Proof-of-Concept Report Template
Include the following screenshots from the “Build a Virtual Private Cloud and Launch a Web Server” activity:
