Update....
I had an interview for a position as a teller at a local credit union. The initial interview went well and I was called for a second interview. It went very well until it came to the part of them asking if I lived close to the branch area (it is in an industrial, out of way area) and I stated that I lived on base. This may have been a mistake, because the follow up question was, how long can you commit to us? I answered honestly and stated that I would love to commit as long as physically possible but that as a military spouse we are unaware of how long we will be in a certain location. I refuse to lie about this part of my life, but I have yet to find a way to answer this question that will not hinder me. So of course, the following Monday, yesterday I received an email stating that they decided to go another way. In all honesty I can't think of any other reason that I did not get the position. Although part of me wants to deny that people will not hire military spouses just because we will have to leave.
Again, I will not let this keep me down. On to another day and hopefully another interview and even better yet a job offer!!!!!

RWT1
RWT1/Business Research and Writing
I completed this class today and although it was not extremely difficult it did take some time. I would say that the majority of the time is spent reading your sources and interpreting them. Next would be the actual researching of sources. You really want to make sure they are credible sources. Once you have these solidly in place, you should have no problem deciding how to go about your paper.
The source document is easy and is essentially your reference page. Have this done before you even begin to write anything in your paper. Then mentally be cognizant of what it is that your task is (depending on what scenario you picked).
My biggest tip was what I failed to do when I first submitted the task.....use sub headings!!!! Use it on EVERY are! For example: Introduction, Summary of finding 1, Summary of finding 2, Summary of finding 3, Analysis of findings, Recommendations, Conclusion....you get what I mean....I had mine sent back to me for this. Save yourself some time and add them in.
Oh also, for any of you that don't have Power Point of Keynote, Google presentation is free and you can just upload the link for the presentation part. I have found that some people know this and some don't. Don't go out and buy a program, this works perfectly!
Here's the link to mine for reference:

Good luck!
