Employer Expectations of Newly-Hired Communication Graduates

This article examines employers\u27 expectations and perceptions of communication new hires at three points in the school-to-work transition, the initial job application, and the beginning and the end of the first year. This study focuses on writing and related conceptual abilities because for most communication new hires they are the foundation of both a successful job application, and therefore employers\u27 first impressions, and of subsequent performance evaluations and progress. In conclusion, broad generalizations about the communication abilities of communication new hires may be unwarranted because performance expectations and the level and types of assessment vary with the type of position, the sector and the specific communication task

The Department Chair: A Symbolic Perspective and Some Implications

Discusses the role of department chair in universities and colleges. Assuming appropriate academic qualifications, most institutional requirements for a department chair are academic leadership, administrative leadership, successful teaching, active scholarship, and in some cases professional experience. Because teaching and scholarship are normally expected of all faculty, the broad roles that seem unique to the chair are academic and administrative leadership, resource acquisition and allocation, and constituent relationships/boundary spanning. In summary, the rhetorical ability to develop appropriate symbolic structures for departments is the essence of the chair\u27s role and a way to reconcile the many tensions inherent in the job; conventional management training may be inappropriate. Also, for some chairs, the term of office may be too short to develop the symbolism needed to sustain their activities, which may be subjectively misconstrued as a result
