Reinventing the Realistic Job Preview: A Needed Pivot toward Equity-Based Language
Megan Lambertz-Berndt
Communication Teacher, v38 n2 p111-118 2024
The activity permits students to reflect on the ways their own identities are privileged or further marginalized during the recruitment process. Students determine ways to re-create job descriptions that remove inequitable language, such as shifting from trait-based language to behavioral-based language and the inclusion of expectation-lowering procedures. The activity also results in students' recognition of the larger problem of sex segregation and sex spillover in the creation of realistic job previews. Courses: Organizational Communication, Training and Development, Business and Professional Communication, Intergroup Communication, Gender Communication, and Intercultural Communication. Learning Objectives: After completing this activity, students will be able to: (1) reflect on their own dispositions toward a job description, (2) determine stereotypical feminine and masculine language in a job description, (3) apply behavioral-based language to a job description, and (4) apply sex segregation and sex spillover to realistic job previews.
