Job Previews

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that job preview is one of the ways to introduce a candidate to the company and areas of operation within the company. It is an effective way of reducing worker turnover. The author stresses that, at every stage of the interviewing and selection process, the employer should explain the expectations of the organization and the internal culture to ensure that misconceptions do not arise and are not the cause for leaving the company. The paper stresses that HR departments must be constantly vigilant to the changes in the needs of the job to create job previews, which include a view to the future trends of the market. For example, computerization has become a basic need for clerical positions in organizations, so job previews must stress computer knowledge for these positions.

From the Paper:

"Based on the requirements of the job, the previews provided might differ considerably. The mediums used for advertising the previews might also significantly differ. Organizations, specifically the HR department, have been spending a lot of time and energy in order to classify the needs and requirements of the position that is being advertised. Cognizance of the culture and working environment of the organization and the scope for growth and advancement for the job in the organization is very important. These factors become especially important for individuals seeking their second or third job. These workers have the necessary skills and are looking for an opportunity to move up in their work status and consequently, the organization's hierarchal chain. At this stage, both the employer and the candidate have to feel satisfied that their expectations can be meet and there is opportunity for a great symbiotic relationship to exist between them."
