RESUME

Assignment:

Your assignment is to create a professional resume and a letter of application usingMicrosoft Office Word or a similar word-processing program.

Explanation:

You may or may not already have a resume. If you have a resume, your job is to polish and update it. If you do not have a resume, then your job is to create one. Even though there are two main types of resumes (chronological and functional), I prefer that you use the chronological approach as it is the most advantageous for new graduates.

Purpose:

Today’s job market for college professionals is perhaps more competitive than it has ever been. Jobs are posted and filled at such a rapid rate that it is important to always be prepared. This assignment is about being prepared for a job opportunity when it arises.

Instructions: Resume

1. Read the chapter information on creating a resume

2. Use a word processing software to create your chronological resume

3. Include each section per the material listed in your text

4. Use the examples in the text to guide you

5. Turn in your Resume in the appropriate eCampus portal

Instructions: Letter of Application

1. Read the section in our textbook that relates to writing effective application letters

2. Locate a job posting from any website (but it must relate to your field of study). There are a number of job search engines in your text.

3. Use a letterhead template from Word to draft your application(cover) letter

4. Adhere to the basic pattern of an application letter

5. Make certain that your letter of application matches the qualifications and requirements of the job posting that you possess (one way to accomplish this is to highlight key terms in the post and make certain you have used them in your letter)

6. Turn in your letter of application in the appropriate eCampus portal

Rubric: Resume—I will be looking for the following assessed at 20 pts each:

3. Inclusions (those items listed on page 320 of your text)

4. Grammar/Usage/Mechanics (no one will take a second look at a resume with these errors)

5. Your related work experience begins with verb phrases (listed in your text)

Rubric: Letter of Application—I will be looking for the following assessed at 20 pts each:

1. Content (Is the information provided appropriate to the job posting)

2. Organization (follow the pattern on page 332 of your text. There are two excellent examples with annotations on pages 336 and 337 of your text. Only 1 page.)

3. Design (clean with sufficient white-space)

4. Style (conveys a sense of your own personality and your interest in the job)

5. Grammar/Usage/Mechanics (same as above)

Tip: follow the check list on page 339 of your text for revising and proofreading the Resume and Letter

: An employee takes her sick child to be COVID tested and returns to work stating that the results came back negative, but does not present any documentation/proof. 

/in /by

As the HR Leader of an organization your responsibilities are sometimes pulled between the rights of the individual and the protection of the collective (employees at large).  Consider the following scenarios and questions that depict conflict between these two responsibilities:

Scenario A: An employee takes her sick child to be COVID tested and returns to work stating that the results came back negative, but does not present any documentation/proof.

Scenario B: Due to COVD-19, increasingly and particularly recently, some employees are receiving emails from their employers reminding them of the requirement to receive their flu vaccination and some are requiring employees to upload documentation into their personal profile in the organization’s online medical record (i.e., “MyChart”)​.

These scenarios raise some interesting questions. First, can organizations legally (and, if so, should they) require employees to get a flu vaccine (or other medical vaccinations…consider the impending COVID-19 vaccination)? Second, can/should organizations require documentation/ proof of vaccine or negative tests when there are potential exposures, before allowing them to return to work? Third, can employers legally (and if so should they) require employees to create a medical record account with them? As CHRO, how would you handle this situation?

  • As a believer, how might the Golden Rule affect the way that you function as a human resource manager?

In this situation, what would you do and why? What would you say to Shawna, knowing that she desperately needs a job? Based on what you’ve learned in this course, what advice would you give Shawna for making herself more marketable to recruiters and human resource managers?

  • As the human resource manager for an organization, you oversee the recruitment and selection process.  You have been talking with a fellow believer, Shawna, who is desperately in need of work; she is a single mother struggling to make ends meet.  Your organization has an available position that it is attempting to fill, but Shawna’s resume does not have the requisite experience required. As the human resource manager, you have the ability to modify the job description so that it aligns with her experience.  By doing so, the description will no longer match up perfectly with what your organization is searching for, though.
  • In this situation, what would you do and why? What would you say to Shawna, knowing that she desperately needs a job?
  • Based on what you’ve learned in this course, what advice would you give Shawna for making herself more marketable to recruiters and human resource managers?

Selecting Communication Channels

For this discussion, think about the importance of choosing the right channel (for example, reports, e-mail, letters, phone calls, text, and face-to-face) for your messages as a leader. Respond to the following:

  • Why is it important to choose the right channel for messages at work?
    • Give an example (from your own experience) of when an appropriate channel was chosen for a message at work. Explain why it was an effective choice.
    • Give an example (from your own experience) of when an inappropriate channel was chosen for a message at work. Explain why it was an ineffective choice.
  • What constraints or pressures exist in our changing workplaces that may simultaneously make it important to match your channel and message, and yet make it difficult to do so?

Support your ideas with course concepts and ideas. Be explicit in your use of course material. Use APA style and format for in-text citations and references.

Discussion Two: Focus on Analytics

“With the additional responsibilities of being a strategic business partner, the modern HR function now faces greater pressure to make sound and impactful decisions. As a result, data-driven decisions have become an integral part of effective strategic HRM. To achieve strategic objectives and a competitive advantage, a growing number of organizations collect, analyze, and interpret data via HR information systems and HR analytics. More specifically, technological advances have made it easier to capture and store HR data in HR information systems, and using HR analytics, these data can be used to improve HR systems, policies, and practices and, as a result, the performance and viability of the organization. HR analysts test hypotheses to determine the best ways to manage people within the organization—or in other words, to arrive at data-driven decisions that bring the organization one step closer to meeting strategic objectives” (Bauer et al, 2018, p. 42).

  6. A discussion of the training that will be needed for senior leaders to execute D&I initiatives.
  7. A discussion about the policies that will drive your D&I efforts, and how they will be reevaluated over time.
