1-Oh-1
Team Project - Career Development
Assignment.
1, Each group will complete TEN job descriptions each week
2. Two job descriptions must be organizational communication, two
for public relations, two for advertising, two for
journalism, and two for electronic media and so
forth.
3. These should be actually job descriptions which are currently being
advertised in the private sector. You will likely
have to do additional research in order to find salary
ranges for the particular position which you are searching. You
may also have to do a little more research identifying
the specific skills required of this posiiton.
4. Here is the information that must be contained in each of the 10
job descriptions. You should "cut and paste" the
table below and use it to construct each of your
job descriptions, so that each description has a similar look and feel.
| Position Title | |
| Company | |
| Position Requirements | |
| Job Description Duties and Resonsibilities |
|
| Skills Required | |
| Salary (Entry) | |
| Salary 2 to 5 years experience | |
| Salary 5 plus years experience | |
Strategy
1. Go to the web sites of large
companies e.g. Caterpillar, State Farm Insurance, Accenture and examine the job
they are
advertising in their own company.
2. Search the
Top 10 Job Web Sites. Sign up for
email alerts, so that jobs of potential interested to communication major will
be sent directly to your inbox.
3.
http://www.bls.gov/oco/ The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Occupational Outlook Handbook is a useful resources for this
particular type of assignment.
4. Information on salaries can be found in the Occupations Outlook Handbou, Salary.com, and I believe there is a source in the Wall Street Journal online. There of course are likely to be other sources which you will need to dig for.
Potential Position Titles
You should not be limited by this list. There are many positions, particular in digital and internet related carrers, which are not yet listed here. This list was put together as a starting point. It will be your task to not only research this positions, but also to add to it.
