Step 2: Choose a Source

Find a credible source that provides useful information about your topic of interest (minimum of one source required). You will explain how the information from your source can be used to enhance your own professional development endeavors. Your source can be taken from any of the following locations:

• an article from the CSU Online Library,
• a resource or link found on the CSU Career Services Department website, and
• Unit VII Lessons 1-4.

Step 3: Analysis and Organization
