  2. List the skills needed for the job, taken both from the job description and your own analysis of the job. Be sure to list at least five skills, three of which are specific skills in the field of criminal justice.

  3. Explain why each of the skills listed in #2 would be needed to succeed in the position you have selected.

  4. Explain how the skills are related to your professional goals.

  5. Discuss why you are interested in the selected jobs and describe the strategy you would use to achieve the skills needed for the jobs you selected.
