MGT 315 CSU Wk 1 Impact of Business Law and Domestic Employment Discussion

Option #1: Lifetime Employability

In your career development work to date, you have researched careers that interest you, and you have evaluated your strengths and weaknesses, comparing them to those required in the career you want. You may have worked with a mentor or networked with other professionals working in your desired career, and you are developing a resume and honing your interviewing skills. Soon you will apply what you are learning to your job search. This is a good time to also consider the skills and practices required for on-the-job success.

Note: If you wish to use a mentor who does not fit the above description, you must secure your instructor’s approval in writing before completing this project; send the individual’s name, title, and credentials to your instructor with a written request for an exception.

To complete this assignment, refer to your personal experience with business laws, acts, ordinances, or your anticipated/desired experiences and how employment and business laws affect you and your specific industry.
