Introduction: explain the purpose of this paper, which is to request consideration for placement into the open job positions for which you feel qualified (name the position or positions). To determine this, a battery of assessments were completed that identified and explained your personal traits and characteristics. Reflection upon your results illuminated the type of work and workplace environment in which your strengths can best be optimized. The following then summarizes these results and your compatibility to each job position.

Assessment Results:

Discussion of results:

Discuss your results, preferably integrating them so that you can show the connections between your collaboration, EI, CQ, etc. In this discussion, use our OB vocabulary but write your own unique thoughts—do NOT summarize or paraphrase sources, nor use source material to finish your sentence. Instead hold your own conversation and use your own interpretation of those sources to demonstrate your meaning. Always cite in paragraph where you’ve used sources to inform your thinking even though not quoting verbatim. Direct quotes should be limited; any time phrases or sentences are taken from a source, quote marks “” are required in addition to the citation.

Based upon the above results, explain the position or positions that you think you are best qualified for. Look at the detail in the scenario for each position and based on your assessment results, connect your personal values, qualities and traits to the scenario detail. In doing so, you will be demonstrating why you would ‘fit’ into that job and its environment. Similarly, explain the positions for which your ‘fit’ might not be as smooth, giving rationale.

For example, if your assessment results indicate you have an introvert personality, high in collaboration skills, moderate in CQ due to your lack of exposure to other cultures, High in openness of the Big 5 traits, high in EI, and sure in your terminal values but flexible in the instrumental values, which job do you think you’d fit into? If not a sure fit into any one of the jobs, is there one that would be a good career path for you if you receive some training? For example, position #1 in the Middle East—perhaps you would find a fit into this position if first given training in cultural intelligence?

Conclusions: Just a brief paragraph drawing the above to a close. Ensure to address the effectiveness of your selection to the organization.

REFERENCES: No papers will be accepted without full references cited in APA style, listed alphabetically by lead author last name (surname). Every source in the reference list should be cited in the report at least once where that information informed your writing. Only sources you read yourself with your own eyes should be in the reference list. If you are reading an article by John Doe and he cites Mary Smith, and you want to refer to this, in the references you cite John Doe’s article. In the paragraph, you would state (Mary Smith, date, cited in John Doe, date).
