Now it is time to make the theoretical more applied. This one may require some pre-planning, so be sure to get started on it as early as possible. For this project, you may choose to work alone or collaborate with up to 2 peers.
Contact a local movie theater.** Conduct a formal job analysis on any ONE of the following job titles (or another similar job title): Usher, Concessionist, Box Office Cashier, Server, Bartender, Projectionist, Assistant Manager, Manager, Regional Director, etc.
NOTE: YOU MAY NOT CHOOSE YOUR OWN JOB TITLE!!!
**If you are absolutely unable to use a movie theater for this assignment, you may substitute a job from a different sector of the service industry, such as a restaurant or commercial bank.
Submit a brief narrative report (expect to take 2-3 pages, double spaced) addressing the following:
- Which job title did you analyze?
- What methods did you use for analysis? (interviews, questionnaires, observation, etc.)
- What sources did you use for analysis? (incumbents, supervisors, SMEs, O*NET, SHRM, BLS, etc.)
- What challenges did you encounter during this process?
- What would you do differently if you had more time to complete your analysis?
Also include a brief job description (expect to take about 1 page), to include:
- Job title
- Brief job summary
- Job requirements (tasks and KSAOs)
