Assignment 2: Analysis of a Job

Reflect on the jobs that you have held. Next, create a job description and
job specifications for your favorite position thus far. You will propose a
training program for that position, and you will consider the primary ways in
which someone occupying the position in question might experience the four
classic career stages.

    appropriate for the position in question. Indicate the research that you have
    done and the relevant considerations that influenced the design of the
    compensation and benefits package.
  3. Examine the traditional career stages and determine in which stage you
    resided when you held the position in question. If you have not yet held this
    position, determine in which stage an individual may reside if employed in the
