Scenario
The Friendly Dawg is a retail pet supply store owned by Dave Dawgs. Dave has worked in the store since high school and took over running the store after his father died two years ago. Originally the store sold only pet food and supplies, such as animal food, bird cages, water bowls, pet beds, and so forth. Upon taking ownership, Dave added fish tanks with fish for sale. Recently he built a kennel and cages in a former storage area in the rear of the store in order to sell live animals, such as snakes, birds, dogs, and cats. Landlord Lou came by during renovations and asked what was going on. One of Dave’s employees told Lou that The Friendly Dawg was expanding its inventory and needed the space. Landlord Lou told the employee, “Very exciting! Good luck!”
A few weeks later, landlord Lou began receiving complaints from the neighboring tenant, the Sunshine Yoga studio, that the noise from the dogs and parrots was very disruptive.
The signed lease between Dave Dawg’s deceased father and Lou describes the business as a pet supply store only and does not mention selling live animals. The lease specifies a rent in the amount of $500 a month. Sunshine Yoga does not have a written lease. The owner of Sunshine Yoga, Jasmine, met Lou one night in a bar two years ago where he verbally offered to rent her the space for $300 a month. Jasmine claims that landlord Lou told her that night that she could rent from him forever and that he would never evict her.
Lou called Dave, asking him to quiet the animals. Dave said he would try, but the complaints from Jasmine continued. Dave also demanded that Lou improve the air-conditioning system, claiming it was too hot in the rear of the store for his animals and it was causing them to become agitated. Landlord Lou refused, claiming that air-conditioning was not meant to cool that area and it was not his job as landlord to take care of live animals.
Dave stopped paying his rent, claiming that he was not obligated to do so because Lou was breaching his obligation under the lease to maintain the property in good repair. The next day, a dangerous snake escaped through the air vents and slithered into the neighboring yoga studio, frightening Jasmine, the owner, such that she had a heart attack.
After recovering, Jasmine stopped paying her rent, claiming that the premises were unsafe due to the presence of wild animals. She also claimed that she has been very depressed and anxious as a result of the ongoing situation. And she contends that she has lost clients because of the noise coming from The Friendly Dawg.
The Friendly Dawg has been a good tenant, enjoys a strong customer base, and pays more in rent than Sunshine Yoga. Sunshine Yoga has always been late with rent, and Jasmine constantly bothers Lou over minor issues.

For this assignment you are required to search for three different job advertisements for organisational learning and development positions. In doing so, you will analyse essential and desirable characteristics, and the industries these jobs are located in. You will develop a matrix where you will compare, contrast and identify similarities and differences of each job’s characteristics and attributes, applying them specifically to the industry sector you wish to work for, or are currently employed in. You will present your findings in a report format, using academic references to support and strengthen your claims.
This assignment supports Subject Learning Outcomes 1, 3 and 5.
Assignment details
Work your way through the following steps to meet the requirements of this assignment.
Step 1: Selecting job advertisements
Find and select three job advertisements for different organisational learning and development positions. Examples of these types of roles could be:
Learning and Capability Specialist at Virgin Australia.
Learning and Development Consultant at MAX Solutions.
Customer Manager – Facilities management at Qantas.
Organisational Culture and Support Officer at Queensland Law Society.
National People and Culture Manager at Qantas.
Step 2: Analysing job advertisements
Analyse the jobs you find, their essential and desirable characteristics, and the industries they are located in from the job advertisements.
Step 3: Comparing job advertisements
Compare, contrast and identify similarities and differences in the information you found. To do this effectively, develop a matrix of the information you found. For example, you could set your matrix up as follows:
Step 4: Discussing characteristics 
Select any three characteristics you consider as essential for an organisational learning development specialist to have based on your matrix. Then discuss these characteristics by applying them specifically to the industry sector you wish to work for, or are currently employed in. This section forms the ‘body’ of your report. Use a minimum of two academic references for each attribute.
Note: You cannot use the readings given to you as part of the subject learning materials as these two academic references. Although you are free to cite these readings in your report, full marks will be given if you find and use additional academic references. 
Step 5: Explaining your choice
Explain your choice of these three essential characteristics and why you consider them to be the most important characteristics for an organisational learning development specialist in that industry. This section also forms the ‘body’ of your report.
Note: The reference list is not included in the word count.
Step 6: Structuring your report
Structure your report with clear headings. Include an introduction, subheadings as required by your report, and a concluding paragraph. At the end of your report should be your reference list, with a clear heading. Include as an appendix to your report:
Appendix A—your matrix of information comparing the different industry job advertisements.
Appendix B—a full copy of your three chosen job advertisements with sources referenced. 
Note:
Please do include a table of contents at the start of the report with page numbers. 
Do not attach a cover sheet.
The matrix required to use to compare is attached below
