Signature Assignment – HRM637
Job Portfolio

Throughout the course you will develop a job portfolio. The portfolio assignment is divided in four sections, one each week, but the final product is truly one document that should flow smoothly across each section. Please keep this in mind as you progress through the assignment. This portfolio can be something of great value to you in your future career.

Write the paper as if you are teaching someone how to develop a job portfolio. Describe each step in the process and detail every decision you make and refer to the theory behind each step. Someone without any HR experience should be able to read your paper and understand the process and use your paper to create their own job portfolio.

Be sure to follow the rubric located below. (Scroll all the way down the page)

Define and discuss a structured vs. non-structured interview process and individual vs. panel interviews. Consider any legal issues associated with the selection process for this position.
