Introduction
In the present report I am going to discuss about the ideas of that is every student is willing
to get after completion of their academic courses. Ideal job is something that is related with the
overall key requirements of a job that a person is willing to perform in future that is associated
with their job roles and responsibilities (Nouf-Latif, Bertilsdotter-Rosqvist and Markström,
2019). In present report there will be discussion about the ideal job that I am willing to pursue in
future and description of the help of a job description and a person specification that can help in
define the criteria that is required to demonstrate the overall skills that a person according to the
present skills so that skill that can be identified. There are three major sources that can be
identified when a person is seeking employment and are related with overall advantages and
disadvantages as every source is having some of the benefits but again it has some demerits
associated with it. So detail evaluation is made of all search sources to understand the search
sources in identifying the ideal job by individual.
My ideal job
My ideal job is to work as a marketing manager in very renowned organisation. The major
reason why I am so interested in this profile is because I possess high influential communication
skills and I am always willing to meet new people and communicate with them so that I can
know about them and this can help me in performing my job responsibilities in a more effective
manner (Zhou and Hu, 2019). I have always been fascinated by approach that is objective based
and goal based and for a marketing manager this approach is very helpful in understanding and
meeting the overall targets that have been assigned by the higher authorities.
Another most important reason because of which I am willing to start my job help of this
marketing profile is that marketing is a field that is offering quite large number of opportunities
in coming future and it can help in Planning my overall strategies of my future plan regarding
my career in a more positive and effective manner. With the changing times organisations will
need more competent marketing managers who can help them in achievement of high sales
because at the end it is all about increasing sales revenue so that high profitability can be
achieved by a particular organisation with the help of their customers. This has led to generation
of more job opportunities in the field of Marketing department in the organisation because it is
4

the marketing department that is solely responsible for the purpose of generating leads for
organisation and helping them in approaching the prospective customers and actually turning
them into a real customer (Swaminathan, 2019).
I have always wished to get associated with a renowned organisation that can help me a decent
remuneration according to the contribution that I am making towards their organisation. For this
I have always wished to work with big retail organisation such as Tesco that is one of the biggest
retailers in United Kingdom and this has been a major reason why I am willing to work as a
marketing manager for this organisation. I believe that Tesco can provide me the exact exposure
for which I am looking right now and can give me correct direction to work according to my
present level of knowledge and skills that I process. The retail sector has been growing very fast
in the dynamic environment and because of many changes taking place in the Macro
environment this sector has not been affected much in a negative manner as they have already
established themselves and are able to deal with all the uncertainty and risk that are being
flourishing in the external market (Cohen, Sauermann and Stephan, 2018). So, I feel that I can
help Tesco in achievement of high says that is most important requirement in the present context
for any retail organisation by working as a marketing manager in the marketing department and
this is my ideal job role for coming future of time.
Job description:
Job description is basically a document that helps in determining the exact roles and
responsibilities that is compulsory required to be present in an individual in order to perform a
particular job that has been assigned to them in an organisation.
There are many graduate employment opportunities in future but in the field of marketing I feel
that there are tremendous growth opportunities that can help in achievement of high productivity
by an individual.
The job description of marketing manager is always different as there is not a particular
responsibility but it involves a combination that consists of different rules and activities together
that combine the job responsibilities of marketing manager (Rohr, 2016). Such as, in initial
stages the responsibility is to make Strategies and plans relating to promotion of products and
services of organisation. Such plans have to be according to the preferences of target base of
customers that is being targeted by the company.

Thinking about the future that is a period of 4 years after I will be completing my
graduation I can only make forecast and plants according to the present economic growth that is
taking place in United Kingdom and that is that the sectors that is going to grow very fast is most
importantly the retail sectors as the purchasing power of people is increasing and this has led to
increase in growth opportunities in the sectors.
The changes that are taking place in the economic environment and with specially many
reforms such as brexit has affected the industries of UK up to a great extent and it has lead to
decline in lot of opportunities in other sectors apart from the retail sector. So according to me
presently I feel that for future role and present role the most important opportunity is in the
marketing sector that can help in individual as well as organisational growing simultaneously at
the same time.
Person specification:
Person specification is basically a blueprint that is consisting of selection and recruitment
process it is drafted very carefully as 10 must be according to the vision of a candidate suitable
for a person, person specification is statement that consists of characteristics and different
qualifications of employees that has to be performed according to the person task in a more
satisfactory manner derived from the overall analysis of a person and is a very important tool
used in case of selection and recruitment process in every organisation.
A person specification is used for describing the overall personal attributes that a result in a
potential employer it is sometimes very similar to person description but is more specific
(Specification, 2016). There are certain specific attributes such as skills knowledge experience
qualification and some personal attributes that are compulsorily required in a candidate for
performing certain person duties. The specifications are derived from overall person description
and are foundation for the process of recruitment. Person specification is very helpful for all the
Potential implications in understanding overall requirements of a person and then self selecting.
For the post of a marketing manager, major responsibility of marketing managers is to build up
a strategic relationships with their existing customer base and all other associated stakeholder
such as Agencies and different vendors who can help in associated with long term and providing
