Employer branding is essential and determines how well the company’s image. It is what many potential employees look for before applying for jobs in a particular company. The two companies of interest I picked are general Motors and wells Fargo. I would so much want to apply for a job at General Motors, and at the same time, I would not wish to apply for a job at Wells Fargo.
General Motors has an appealing website. This attractive website is the first reason I would like to work with it. All information about the company can easily be located. The data is placed under different categories depending on what it addresses. Examples of the groups are technology, community, culture, and commitment, among others. Any specific information on technology can be accessed from the link provided under technology. The same thing with information on what General Motors is doing to the community and what its commitment is. How this information is categorized encourages one to want to be associated with the company (Klein, 2000).
General Motor enjoys an excellent public image since there is no adverse information about it on the internet. Its employees are entitled to different kinds of allowances in addition to permanent employment terms. The company is also in the frontline in helping in the fight against COVID-19 disease. All these collectively encouraged me to want to apply for a job.
