The job under analysis is called Bank Loan Manager. This job was chosen for the analysis in this paper because I have a close friend who works as a bank loan manager. In my opinion, this is a rather profitable and respectable job, and its popularity and prestige have been growing during the last decade. The method used during the job analysis is a combination of prior information, observation, and interviews. The main source of data for the analysis is the job incumbent who was interviewed about their position and duties and observed while working. Preparing for the analysis I kept notes during the interview and observation, made research.

The career paths that will be analyzed in this paper belong to the hotel business, data entry field, and healthcare. In the hotel business, the individuals occupying administrative positions have good opportunities for hierarchical mobility path. The managers in this industry can develop a career starting with the management of property level and moving upwards to regional and then executive management positions.

At the same time, upwards mobility works only within the departments of this career, for example, housekeeping, guest services, and sales careers in the hotel business each have their upward mobility paths. Data entry specialists also have the opportunity to move upwards in their career paths advancing from a clerk to a supervisor or a team builder involved in the recruitment of new workers. Data entry specialists have limited career paths and little opportunity for moving up to higher managerial or executive positions. To address the limits, they require professional mentoring or coaching, management, and leadership courses and classes.

Although, if the company adopts alternative reward systems, it may help facilitate the professional growth of the employees and allows them to develop new skills and acquire knowledge making them potentially suitable for careers in other fields requiring leadership qualities (Heneman III, Judge and Kammeyer-Mueller 275). Healthcare is an industry with alternative career paths. A medical professional of a certain field cannot advance much, for example, a surgeon may become chief of surgery, or a nurse may advance to chief nurse. For a nurse to become a surgeon re-qualification and years of training and education are required.
