For this Discussion, you will consider two job listings for the same job position or role of your choosing. Then, based on what you find, you will discuss the effectiveness of the job listing with regard to the job description, search parameters, and any other details you consider important.

For this Assignment, EGI is creating a series of mini presentations on HR topics. Each project manager will choose three HR topics and create a PPT presentation, complete with speaker notes. You will also create a handout of helpful websites and resources to supplement your presentation.
