Identifying the Personality Characteristics Needed for a Job
Here is the Scenario:
Wood Designs Plus
To: Director of Human Resources
From: Michelle Woods, President
Re: Hiring
Wood Designs Plus manufacturing operations have grown to the point where they need to add a corporate controller and a national sales director. The controller will be responsible for establishing operational and financial standards (in other words, a lot of number-crunching using financial and manufacturing statistics) for our various work units. The national sales director will be responsible for working closely with our sales staff to further develop long-lasting and mutually beneficial relationships with our customers.
As the Director of HR, I am assigning you the task of writing a short report describing the personality type that might be an appropriate match for each of these new positions. Be sure to consider Holland’s Personality – Job Fit and the Big Five Model of Personality in your report.
Thank you.
Michelle Woods, President
