Discussion Post: The Role of Fit
Make sure you understand the difference between person-job fit and person-organization fit and refer to those differences during this activity. For this activity, you will need a high level of self-awareness and also do some insightful research into the job and organization you select.
• Select a small, medium, or large organization you would like to work for and explain why you would be a good fit there (person-organization fit). For example, you can search for great organizations to work for using search engines or the glassdoor.com best places to work list:
Company: American Arline
Job: Flight Attendant
• What would be your ideal position in this organization? Again, you can search jobs within the organization using search engines or the glassdoor wbsite list. Explain why this would be a good fit for you (person-job fit).
o Repeat the analyses you did in numbers 1 and 2 for your current employer and your current position.
Current Position: Academic Advisor University
o In your responses to the questions above, include at least 1 or 2 personality traits covered in this chapter (see below) in your explanation of good fit. Use the traits that you feel are most important regarding how well you would fit in with the organization and job you selected.
The response should include a reference list. Using double-space, Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
