Greg Wyler’s Business Plan

Assignment One As a soon-to-be college graduate, you will be starting your own business or joining an existing company soon. In either instance, you may be asked to write a business plan. If you start your own company, a business plan is part of the initial package required to get financial approval. If you work for an existing company, your company may begin a new venture, which would require a business plan. Use your imagination, put yourself in whatever business scenario you choose and write a business plan relating to that scenario. Additionally, research other corporation's business plans to get an idea of effective and ineffective methods.

Assignment Two Students should choose a job that he/she is qualified for upon graduation from college. Research the company and prepare the appropriate job application documents and prepare for an interview. Produce a resume and cover letter appropriate for the position.
