Just some instruction below:
 You can select a simple company nothing complicated. The job description can be
example cashier etc nothing difficult. The company should be a sole proprietorship
 For the Graphic Rating Scale you can make example of it from my book below. But my
lecturer needs the Graphic Rating scale to be linked to what every job description you
have chosen not just a general scale. It should match the job description

 Training section can be 2 pages
 I need 3 pages with the Legal Environment section-it should link to the
company not just general information (I am in Ontario Canada)
 Recruitment 1 page
 Selection 1 page
 Graphic Scale 1 page
 Compensation 1 page
 Orientate/onboard 1 page & half
 Organization 1 page
 Etc
Please I am kindly asking you to let me see the information as you go along just to
make sure.
