Module 1 - Select a small, medium, or large organization

Module 1

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.

1. 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: https://www.glassdoor.com/Best-Places-to-Work-LST_KQ0,19.htmLinks to an external site.
2. What would be your ideal position in this organization? Again, you can search jobs within the organization using search engines or the glassdoor.com list. Explain why this would be a good fit for you (person–job fit).
3. Repeat the analyses you did in numbers 1 and 2 for your current employer and your current position.
4. 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.
