1. Fit - A goal of applicant assessment is to determine how well a person fits into a job, a work group, and an organization"s culture and strategy.
Describe job-fit, group-fit, and organization fit.
 For each type of fit, choose an external assessment method that would be useful in determining each type of fit. Support your choice of each method.
 When examining fit, research has shown that if a person"s financial, career, lifestyle, and other needs fit a job, they will exhibit higher levels of performance, satisfaction, organizational commitment, and intent to stay. Think about the vocation that you wish to pursue and the job in that field that you would like to have (if you already have your dream job, you can use that one). Explain how your needs, as described above, will fit your job of choice.


2. Internal Selection
 Explain how internal selection decisions differ from external selection decisions.
 Succession Management - Even though succession planning systems are important parts of internal selection, only approximately 50% of organizations use them. You believe that your organization should have one.

 What is a succession management system? How can you ensure that it is effective?
 What steps should you take to develop such a system?
 How can an well developed succession system be used to help shatter the "glass ceiling" in an organization.
