Experience is a common job requirement – but aspiring professionals are often frustrated by this obstacle to career advancement. They think “I need experience to get the job BUT I need the job to get experience!!!” Maybe you can relate to this. First, research and describe how your chosen company is handling the question of education and experience requirements in hiring. Then, explain how you would handle it differently (if at all) if you were in charge of Human Resources and Workforce Management for the same company. How much would or should be necessary? Would it vary by job? If so, how? And are there any exceptions?
Some businesses focus a lot on succession planning. Others, however, seem to just put off worrying about it until someone dies, resigns, or gets fired. First, research and describe how your chosen company is handling the questions of employee development and succession planning. Then, explain how you would handle it differently (if at all) if you were in charge of Human Resources and Workforce Management for the same company. What kind of programs or initiatives or incentives would you put in place? How would you measure whether your efforts are achieving the desired goals?
