Assignment 2 -
You are the Human Resources Director of Recruitment for XYZ Enterprises, and you are charged with developing an interview strategy to be used to fill an open position (choose one of the following):
- Buildings and Grounds Worker
- Executive Assistant
- Controller
- Public Relations Officer
The organization adheres to strict affirmative action guidelines to ensure that the best person is hired for every position. A search committee of five appropriate employees has been formed. The committee will meet prior to scheduling interviews. Your tasks are as follows:
1. After making a position choice, your first task is to create a table (with an appropriate title and caption) that details the employee's job description.
2. After creating the table, prepare a report for the committee meeting that fully outlines the employment interviewing strategy XYZ plans to use during the search. The written assignment essay should be between 1050 and 1400 words (4 to 6 pages) in length. The report should demonstrate mastery of the concepts in Modules 1 through 5, be written in the third person, and be presented without editorializing. Ensure that the job description table is properly anchored to the prose; that is, there should be a concrete reference to the table in the report. Prior to submitting your assignment, ensure that your entry is an analysis and not simply a summary of findings.
The paper must be written in conformance with the citation formatting requirements of APA style, and all sources, whether directly quoted or paraphrased, must be cited in the text of your assignment as well as included on a References page. Applying APA style can be easily accomplished by using Word's "References" tab or by following the formatting requirements of the APA (http://www.apastyle.org).
