exam discussion

[ngRISING]

i compared Wombat Airlines with rip curl. :S

[kyprea]

what was that question concerning the human resource strategies? i forgot :S oh and the one with finding new employees at the hotel

[lil_stace]

i used holden as a manufacturing company =s it was much easier to use and i used jims mowing for a service company

[kyprea]

for the hotal one i think i said the hotel would turn to EOC to get  better quality of employee and then i said job specification i think....

[mba]

The hotel one I said changes in job specification to reflect the new skills and knowledge that would be required when working at a 5 star hotel, e.g.: hospitality qualifications etc.

My second one was job description, Winston Hotels would have to change their job descriptions as the duties and tasks associated with operating 5 star hotels would be different to that of operating a 3 star hotel, e.g.: increased focus on delivering high standards of customer service.

[ngRISING]

woah was it that damn.

i wrote they should conduct a job analysis which is the process of evaluating the current skills and qualifications to assist in accurate recruitment and selection of staff because it allows them to update their current job descriptions and specifications. I then defined what those are, applied it.

a second way is by conducting interviews which allows the employers to determine whether the applicant is suitable for the organisation in terms of social attitude as well as fitting into the organisations corporate culture. defined that as well. applied the wilton hotels scenario.

4 marks?

[mba]

Remember how ever that I think there can be more then one strategy that can be applied to these type of questions. As long it's a HR strategy (anything within the employment cycle is considered a strategy), and you relate it back to the case study and how your going to solve the problem, you should be fine.

with regards to the Planning and Controlling Question

defined planning. steps in planning SADIM applied with Johnson Automotive

defined controlling, steps in controling . SDMCTR applied with Johnson automotive. 4 mark q. full marks?

[nbalakers24]

full marks if you related those steps to the situation at that company

[kyprea]

ok that question pissed me off because out of the 10+ practice exams i did i never had a question that chose the management roles for me, and i never use controlling in my examples so there goes maybe a couple marks on crap. you probably got the full marks but i included having to create strategies in my planning and performance appraisals ect.

[lil_stace]

oh for the hr question, job specification, how it needs to change and how employees will need more skill because of it. and the other one was like a role play/ 1 week testing period in which they trial the applicant at the organisation

[danman]

ngrising, i did the exact same as you for hr strategies

[wilson]

does anyone have a copy of the exam they could scan?
there are a couple of questions I want to see again.
