Scenario:

You're beginning to look for a summer internship in the Northern Virginia/DC area. Before you take the time and effort to submit applications, you realize that there are a lot of things you don't know about the companies who are hiring.

Step 1) Pick a company to research from the list below:

Northrop Grumman

Under Armour

Capital One

Inova

Cisco

Marriott

Deloitte

Long & Foster

When choosing your company be sure to explore the mission or value statement from their website to help you decide and to know more before beginning your research.

Step 2) Pick a business database to begin your search:

ABI/Inform | Factiva | Business Source Complete

Step 3) Find one recent (within the past 2 years) professional business source from a news, popular, or trade publication about your company's corporate culture and/or leadership style (e.g. workplace environment, benefits, dress code, turnover, scandal).

**Note: do not find a scholarly source for this activity**

For example, you could find a news article about Under Armour's response to the COVID-19 (or coronavirus) pandemic and how they've taken care of their employees during this time.

Step 4) make a post by answering this questions :

List the company name, business database, and at least 4 keywords you used to find your source

Provide a complete citation to your source. Most databases have a citation generator or use zbib.org to create citation. (Hint: be sure to double check your citation to make sure it includes the author, title, date, etc.)

Determine whether your source is popular, trade, or news include this in your post and explain why it is a professional business source (i.e. the publication is business focused because...)

Evaluate thesource based on currency, relevancy, accuracy, authority, and purpose.

Include your full CRAAP evaluation in your post.

Finally, using this evidence decide whether you would want to work for this company. Why/Why not?
