First, go to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, latest edition (https://www.bls.gov/ooh/ ) and research a position that is interesting to you. Assume that this position is the position you need to fill for this assignment. You are to address each of the following:

Develop a one-page job announcement, recruitment flier to announce the industry-specific opening. This ad/flier could be put on your consulting companys website as well as other locations. Creatively, match the flyer design to the clients industry.

Should diversity and inclusion be built into the recruitment flier? If so, how?

[This flier needs to be submitted in the assignment drop box along with the essay as described below.]

Introduction. (No heading is needed for the introduction section that introduces your reader to your paper.) Note: The introduction is often written last after your other sections are completed.

Comparing Job Announcements: (provide heading of your choice).

[In order to write this section, first view a website such as Indeed.com and locate a job announcement for the same position. Alternatively, you can meet with your companys HRM and review a similar job announcement.]

Compare the obtained announcement with the one you created and write about the differences you see:

Which ones are in the announcement you obtained but not in your created announcement?
Which ones are in your announcement but not in the one you found?
Would you change your announcement to incorporate any of the differences that you noted being on one announcement but not in the other? Why or why not?
Critique how diversity and inclusion is addressed in your announcement as compared to the announcement you found.
Recruiting Strategies: (provide heading of your choice).

Explain in detail what recruiting strategies you would employ to find candidates qualified for this opening for your client company.

Selection Processes: (provide heading of your choice).
