Instructions:
•
•
Think about a supervisory/management position that interests you. The position must be a first-line
supervisor/manager position of your choice. In addition, you may include the type of industry in
your search, such as banking supervisor, nursing supervisor, recreation manager, hotel maintenance
supervisor, etc.
Visit Monster.com at http://www.monster.com.
This is a career resource website (job search, resume writing, etc.).
•
Type the name of the supervisory/management position in the “Search Jobs” box. You may leave
blank the “U.S. Locations” box, which will result in a nationwide search. Clicking “Search” will
likely result in numerous listings, depending on how general or specific your “Search Job”
supervisory/management listing was.
•
Scroll the listings, viewing job titles and the names of the organizations for which there are position
vacancies. Find a position/organization that looks of interest, and click the job title. You will then
find the company’s job description for the position.
•
Select job descriptions for three different organizations, noting the differences in responsibilities,
duties, and requirements. What conclusions about supervision/management and the organizations
can be drawn from these?
•
Write a report, two pages in length commenting on the differences noted. Include copy of the three
job listings.
