Topic 2 DQ 2 HRM 635 Professor response Week 2 CAT- Realistic Job Preview   Q: Experts discuss the use of realistic job previews (RJP) in how you communicate your message about the job during recruiting. At my organization we strive for realistic job previews because we want the candidates to fully understand the fun and bad parts of the job. So, we’ll talk about the interesting aspects of the tasks. We’ll even talk about what’s stressful, difficult, and why other people have left the job in the past. Questions to the class: 1)      What are the pros and cons of using a RJP? R: The pros and cons of using realistic job previews (RJP) vary based on the perspective of the candidates applying for the role(s). Some candidates may recognize the balance between the pros and cons to distinguish where they can fit in at this organization. In addition, realistic job previews (RJP) is well-round allowing the recruitment staff to demonstrate how potential outcomes and plan may derail but, shift with the support of knowledgeable staff members. (RJP) identify how resourceful and supportive the organization is despite unexpected challenges that may occur. There is no such thing as perfection in business. This speaks volumes to the business practice.   2)      Should it be used for external candidates or internal candidates? Why? R. (RJP) can be used for external candidates and internal candidates. Each candidate should have a broad understanding of the different elements of an organization. External and internal candidates are not different. (RJP) promotes educating, sharpening, and expanding candidates’ knowledge of tasks. Without realistic job previews candidates are potentially blind-sided which can impact new hire retention. “ Providing a well-designed RJP to potential new employees during the application process can reduce turnover and enhance new employee commitment. This is because two match-ups occur when a new person is hired: The employer matches its job requirements with the individual's qualifications and the individual matches his or her needs with the organizational culture and the specific job's requirements .”  ( Realistic job
previews , n.d.)   Therefore, organizations should share the wealth of knowledge internally and externally to provide candidates with choices of acceptance and satisfaction.   3) What is your experience as an interviewer or candidate with RJP? As a candidate, I never experienced (RJP) before. Throughout the duration of the interviews, I’ve been on the hiring staff and spent more time learning about myself and my qualifications to identify if I was the right fit for the role. Most organizations provide a brief overview of what they are looking for and explain the culture of the agency. Furthermore, if (RJP) was utilized during the hiring process I would’ve recognized which organization was for me. This would allow me to spend less time seeking different employers and invest in learning more about different variations of the organization. As a potential candidate (RJP), it would’ve created a safe space for me to explore and find a balance in my career path.   Reference Realistic job previews . (n.d.).
