Career Development Plan Part I - Job Analysis and Selection
As a midlevel sales manager at InterClean; which has just merged with EnviroTech and as a result has taken on a new strategic direction, providing full-service cleaning solutions for organizations in the health care industry; I’ve been assigned to create a new sales team and select its members. A development plan will also be created to help the team succeed with the company’s new strategy.
As part of the merger several sales positions have become available. It will require changes in job assignments and well as changes in job descriptions. There will be seven new positions. The positions available are: Sales Director, Sales Manager, Sales Representative, Sales Associate, Sales Assistant, Sales Supervisor, and Sales Executive. These positions will have detailed job descriptions. Different selection methods will help to hire the individuals who will be the best fit for these positions.

The purpose of the job analysis is to identify job description and job specifications.
