_BYU Student Author_: @Nate _Reviewers_: @Erick_Sizilio, @Jae _Estimated Time to Solve:_ 60 Minutes We provide the solution to this challenge using: - Python Need a program? Click [here](https://www.techhub.training/t/information-about-software-used-on-techhub-training/138). **Overview** Congrats! You just found your dream job, and you couldn’t be more excited. For years, you’ve been wanting to get promoted from assistant regional manager to assistant _to the_ regional manager. Well, last week you interviewed with a prestigious paper manufacturer based in Scranton, PA, and the regional manager Michael just called—you got the job! Michael has already emailed you the employment contract, and you are excited to read through it. However, wanting to save paper and not having time to read all 4 pages, you decide to take a quick hour to write a Python program that can identify the obligations and benefits outlined for you and your prospective employer, Dunder Mifflin, in your employment contract. You also know that nearly 84% of employees never read their entire employment contracts, so if your program is any good, you might be able to license it out for a healthy profit. **Instructions** In an hour or less, write a script that can identify obligations and benefits outlined for different parties in a contract. To help you, I have provided your employment contract with Dunder Mifflin as a .pdf, .docx, and .txt file. Pick one or more formats that your script will accept as input from a user. I have also provided a file containing a list of 50 common words that indicate obligations or benefits in contracts. This file can help you search for and return instances of these words along with the sentences containing them. Output these sentences to a report that you can review to avoid reading the whole contract. See what obligations and benefits your script finds in the Dunder Mifflin contract and comment your favorites below! **Data Files** - [Challenge93\_Employment\_Agreement.pdf](https://byu.box.com/shared/static/rd2649i9slabb4jpm0v3nwf7fha62eqx) - [Challenge93\_Employment\_Agreement.docx](https://byu.box.com/shared/static/0ehxapjwr42pmvjrzqyvab98kqgxm50p) - [Challenge93\_Employment\_Agreement.txt](https://byu.box.com/shared/static/czzvvodvlpmu87r5y7ekcsi4evig7o5x) - [Challenge93\_Contract\_Words.txt](https://byu.box.com/shared/static/ew3m87hsjlpjk181nkcpftyyqk87w85a) > **Suggestions and Hints** > > I recommend using Python’s Regex package to parse through contract text and find instances of the words in the `contract_words.txt` file.
