2. What would be your ideal position in this organization? Again, you can search jobs within the organization using search engines or the glassdoor.com list. Explain why this would be a good fit for you (personjob fit).
3. Repeat the analyses you did in numbers 1 and 2 for your current employer and your current position.
4. In your responses to the questions above, include at least 1 or 2 personality traits covered in this chapter (see below) in your explanation of good fit. Use the traits that you feel are most important regarding how well you would fit in with the organization and job you selected.
