Week 5 - Assignment: Construct a Job Announcement and Compose Interview Questions

This assignment has two parts:

Part 1:

After reading the text, conduct research to locate sample job announcements in the sports domain from a variety of sources (NCAA.org, Nike.com, or any university’s human resource site). Consider the following as you research the job announcements:

What are the positives of the organization’s advertisement?

What could the organization do to improve?

Does the organization hit its target market?

Is it specific in its efforts to attract that market’s attention?

Does the organization use the AIDA guidelines?

Does the organization adhere to employment laws?

For this task, construct your own job announcement for the Director of Sports Marketing at Hillside College. Use the guidelines from your textbook to create an effective job advertisement: AIDA (attention, interest, desire, action).

After creating the announcement, name five specific sites you will use to promote your open position.

Part 2:

Next, generate 12 sample interview questions, three from each of the four categories found on page 170 of your text.

1. Organization and Planning Skills

2. Interaction and Leadership

3. Assertiveness and Motivation

4. Decision Making and Problem Solving

Make sure they are detailed and specific to the Director of Marketing position at Hillside College. They should be unique and should not be the same questions found on page 170.

Length: 3 pages: 1 page for the job announcement; 1 page for the interview questions; and 1 page explaining important areas to consider when designing both.

References: Minimum of three scholarly resources and three sample job announcements

Be sure to include citations for quotations and paraphrases with references in APA format and style.

Your announcement/interview questions should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your announcement/interview questions should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Review APA Form and Style. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University's Academic Integrity Policy.
