Personal Dossier – Your Employer Wants to Know You

Imagine that you are applying for a job, and your potential
employer wants to learn about you and your personality. Because this job requires you to closely
interact with people in difficult and vulnerable circumstances, your employer
needs to know what kind of person you are, and whether or not you would be
sensitive to the needs of the people that you are serving. Your employer is interested in how well you
know yourself and can express yourself.

Your employer is impressed that you have taken a course in
Personality. Thus, in addition to your
ability to self-reflect, your employer is also interested in your knowledge of
personality psychology, based on what, specifically, you have learned in that
course. The student learning outcomes
for this Personality course should provide the framework for demonstrating what
you have learned. Here are the learning
outcomes for this Personality course:

By the end of this course, students should be able to:

1. Compare and
contrast the major personality theorists and their theories.

2. Demonstrate an
understanding of methods for assessing personality.

3. Demonstrate an
understanding of the biological and environmental basis for individual
differences.

4. Apply
personality theories and research to explain human behavior.

Your final product should be a professional-looking dossier
about yourself that you would be proud to present to your potential employer. Your dossier should include:

· A brief (2-3
pages) autobiographical essay that introduces yourself to your employer and
explains how your background – and your experience taking this course –
prepares you for the position.

· A clear
description (3-4 pages) of how the work you did in your Personality class has
helped you achieve EACH of the learning outcomes listed above.

o For EACH learning
outcome, describe to your employer how the knowledge and skills that you gained
will help you in your career and/or your personal life.

· Sources that
provide evidence of your learning. Your
employer needs to know that you are not simply making stuff up. Therefore, you will need to CITE SOURCES, to
show that you have read relevant materials, learned from them, and can now
effectively use these sources to back up your claims. Your sources should include:

o Peer-reviewed
journal articles (at least two, published within the last five years)

o Assignments you
did in this course

o Links to informative web sites

o Notes you have
taken from your textbook

o Descriptions of
your personal observations of human behavior

· Proper
grammar and spelling. Do a spelling and
grammar check using your word processor and then proofread to further check for
errors. Take care that your writing
flows well from start to finish and has good paragraph construction.

· APA style
guidelines for citing your sources. Go
