Personal Skills Assessment

The assignments for this class are related and seek to complete a job candidate portfolio that will be presented at the end of week seven. Students will be expected to present a draft of each assignment on the milestone date given. The faculty will review the draft and give feedback along with a grade for the draft. The papers will be combined into one document to submit as the final portfolio in week 7. When the portfolio is submitted complete with revisions in week seven, the faculty member will grade it as a completed portfolio at which time additional points will be assessed on the changes made, the quality of the portfolio and its chances for getting the job. This is the first assignment in the portfolio. Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is for you to develop a clear picture of the skills that you possess right now to qualify you for likely success in the job for which you will apply. Outcomes: Through self-knowledge of personal characteristics gained from the required assessments: • Gain an understanding of the relatedness between varied individual characteristics and traits, and demonstrate how these affect behavior in the workplace • Identify compatibility of individual characteristics to specific job scenarios to determine job and organizational fit • Apply knowledge of generational cohort values to assess a workplace scenario • Demonstrate critical thinking and analytical writing expressed within professional business communications The Portfolio Scenario: Rainbow Paints has five people retiring soon, and they want to give their existing personnel first chance to fill the jobs. You are anxious to move up in the company to a management position and happily apply. The candidate portfolio, given to you by HR, contains two parts: a self-evaluation so you can determine your candidacy for one or more of the positions (project 1), and the analysis of a scenario to determine your understanding of organizational behavior and how to develop an engaging workplace (project 2). This Assignment: This project 1 contains a series of tests which will help your employer, Rainbow Paints, in assessing what position you are best suited to fill. It also contains a short job description for each of the positions that will open. Since you are familiar with these positions and their roles, you think that the types of test they ask you to take will not only tell HR what job is best for you, but it should tell you as well. This may give you a better idea of your chance of getting the position. Steps for Completion of the Assignment: Step 1.
