SKILLS SELF-ASSESSMENT INSTRUMENT
What Do Students Want from
Their Jobs?
Purpose:
This exercise investigates the job values
held by college students at your institution. Then it
asks the students to speculate about employers’ percep-
tions of college students’ job values. This will help you
understand how college students can be recruited effec-
tively. It also gives you insight into the difficulties of
managing and motivating individuals with different
values and perceptions.
Introduction:
Employees choose careers that match
their job values. Employers try to understand employee
values to better recruit, manage, and motivate them.
Job values are important therefore, in every HR
process, from job advertisements and interviews, to
performance appraisals, to compensation planning.
