Write a 3 page essay on Components of a Job Description for Fundraising.

Similar to every job position fundraisers also perform their best when they actually know the expectations of their recruiters and the overall purpose of fundraising (Tempel, 2011). Since the components of a job description briefly address the job requirements, therefore, it is important to consider them when hiring a fundraiser.

Developing a job description is actually the process of putting candidate selection criteria in writing. Here, it is important to note that job description not only summarizes the responsibilities and duties of the selected candidate rather it also mentions the aptitude and skills necessary to perform the job, for instance, training requirements, education, motivation and experience. All these elements actually help in recruiting the right person for the job (Stone, 2003).

1. Title of the Job: The job position is introduced in this section with a brief discussion about company’s background and its products/services. The job title is developed considering all the job requirements, expectations and responsibilities. Although the title is short but its description may have two or three sentences. It plays an important role in catching reader’s attention while inviting him to read a further description.

2. Statement of Objectives: Aims and objectives related to the job position should be mentioned clearly so that candidates can easily evaluate them according to their career goals. For instance, if the job description is about marketing position then objectives must refer to the customer needs and the company’s strategies to address them. On the other hand, if the job description is prepared for a non-profit organization then the objectives to meet the social needs should be mentioned here.

3. Major Responsibilities: These can be divided into two parts i.e. general responsibilities and the major tasks. For instance, a marketer’s foremost responsibility is to prepare marketing strategies but his general responsibility includes monitoring the ongoing marketing campaigns, feedback reports, presentations etc.&nbsp.

A user asks you to troubleshoot his Windows 7 workstation, which is behaving erratically. He has recently purchased and installed a new graphics adapter, and ever since then, he sees occasional wavy lines in the display. You run Device Manager on the system and note the manufacturer, model, and version number of the device driver for the graphics adapter. Then, you check the adapter manufacturer’s web site and discover that there is a new driver available for the adapter. After downloading and installing the driver update, you restart the system. The system appears to start normally, except that the graphical interface has been replaced by incomprehensible noise. Because you can’t see the display, you can’t work with the system. What should you do return the computer to an operational state?

This module/week focuses on questions of education policy. The focus will shift from public schools to vouchers for private schools to the alternative of homeschooling. The same question that can be asked about the government’s role in the category of social justice can be asked about the government’s role in education.

  • Textbook Readings
  • Presentation: Education Policy, Home Schools, and Christian Schools

This exercise provides a review of the key Biblical and Constitutional principles which inform the May analysis for education policy

For this Discussion Board Forum, interact in a free-flowing discussion of the biblical and constitutional parameters for the particular policy focus being discussed this module/week. In other words, you must discuss the “May” portion of the “May-Can-Should” approach to policy analysis and implementation. Engage the ideas of your classmates and the required readings and presentations in a meaningful and thoughtful manner.

Remember to provide thoughts on what government should or should not do from a biblical and constitutional perspective. Also discuss what other groups, individuals, and organizations (possibly including state and local government) should be doing within society to address the policy issues discussed in this module/week.

Case: Starbucks Returns to Its Roots

You are probably so used to seeing Starbucks coffee shops everywhere that you might not realize the company went from just 11 stores in 1987 to 2,600 in the year 2000. This incredibly rapid growth sprang from the company’s ability to create a unique experience for customers who wanted to buy its distinct brand of lattes and mochas wherever they found themselves. At Starbucks’ core, there was also a culture of treating each customer as a valued guest who should feel comfortable relaxing and taking in the ambience of the store. Whether you were in the company’s founding location in Seattle, Washington, or at the other end of the country in Miami, Florida, you knew what to expect when you went to a Starbucks.

 This uniform culture was truly put to the test in the face of massive expansion, however, and by 2006 Starbucks’ chairman and former CEO Howard Schultz knew something had gone wrong. He noted that, “As I visited hundreds of Starbucks stores in cities around the world, the entrepreneurial merchant in me sensed that something intrinsic to Starbucks’ brand was missing. An aura. A spirit. The stores were lacking a certain soul.” Starbucks’ performance had become lackluster, with hundreds of planned store openings being canceled and hundreds more stores being closed.

So, Schultz took the dramatic step of coming back as CEO and engaging in a companywide effort to change the corporate culture back to what it had been before its expansion. All 7,000 Starbucks stores were closed for a single afternoon as part of a training effort of 135,000 baristas. Quality control was a primary mission; baristas were instructed to pour every glass of espresso like honey from a spoon, to preserve the flavor. This emphasis on quality over speed ran counter to the principles of mass production, but it was just what the company needed to ensure it could retain its culture. Espresso machines that obscured the customers’ view were replaced with lower profile machines that allowed baristas to look directly at guests while making beverages. And “assembly-line production,” like making several drinks at once, was discouraged in favor of slowly making each drink for each customer.

Schultz is convinced his efforts to take the culture back to its roots as a neighborhood coffee shop—one entranced with the “romance of coffee” and treating every customer as an old friend—has saved the company. Today, Starbucks earns more than $10 billion in annual revenue and serves more than 50 million customers a week around the globe.

Schultz, “How Starbucks Got Its Mojo Back,” Newsweek, (March 21, 2011), A. Ignatius, “We Had to Own the Mistakes,” Harvard Business Review (July/August 2010), pp. 108-115; and R. Baker, “Starbucks Demonstrates Power of Brand,” Marketing Week (April 28, 2011),  What factors are most likely to change when a company grows very rapidly, as Starbucks did? How can these changes threaten the culture of an organization?

2. A great deal of the return to an original culture has been credited to Howard Schultz, who acted as an idea champion. Explain how Schultz’s efforts to change the Starbucks culture fits with the discussion of “creating a culture for change” discussed in the chapter.
