This assignment is based on a local nursing home called The Terraces of Lake Worth. Here is a link to their website. https://www.terracescc.com/ This portion of the power point is being broken up into how the nurses home handles different fundamental functions of management. (planning, organizing, controlling, staffing, directing) These three slides need to be about the organizations PLANNING.

I have attached a rough draft of the completed paper that goes along with this presentation and the information and sources need to come from the paper. I will also attach some more information from the textbook on planning shortly if needed.

Planning: is the function of management that involves setting objectives and determining a course of action for achieving those objectives. It means setting goals and developing a method to achieve them efficiently.**

Week 4 Discussion
Step 1. How to Write a Job Announcement
Read the following article from monster.com that
describes how to write a job announcement.
http://hiring.monster.co.uk/hr/hr-bestpractices/recruiting-hiring-advice/attracting-jobcandidates/how-do-i-write-an-effective-jobadvert.aspx
Step 2. Locate a Job Announcement
Next, go to monster.com and locate a job announcement for a job you might be interested in obtaining
someday.
Step 3. Review the Employer’s Website
After reviewing the job announcement go to the “careers” or “jobs” website of the company that is
hiring.
Step 4. Evaluate the Job Announcement and Employer’s Website
Finally, for your discussion post I would like to evaluate both the job announcement and the employer’s
“careers” website.
Include the link to the announcement and the employer’s “Careers” web site.
Use the information presented in Step 1 in your answer, but some other things you might want to
consider are the following:
• Is there enough information for you to make a decision about the job and the company?
• Is the information specific enough or is it too general?
• Do you think the information is realistic in terms of what the job and company are actually like?
• Is the web site easy to navigate?
• Are both appealing to the types of people who will be looking at them?
• Is the job announcement and company website consistent?
• Is compensation addressed?
• What changes would you make?
You must make your initial post no later than 11:59 PM HST Thursday. Your answer must be a minimum
of 400 words.
You must make a substantial reply to another student no later than 11:59 PM HST Sunday. Your reply
must be a minimum of 250 words.
There is no need for an additional scholarly source when evaluating the job announcement. Use the link
provided in Step 1. You still need to properly cite and reference the webpage, however.
