The In-Basket Job Simulation is one of the assessments in the Competency-Based Promotional Assessment System. During the In-Basket Job Simulation, you will be asked to assume the role of supervisor or manager in a fictional port. You will receive background information about the facility, the staff, and the major issues facing the facility. In addition, you will be presented with a series of voice mail messages and e-mail messages that have accumulated in your in-basket. You must read these materials and then outline your strategies for solving problems, making decisions, developing plans, evaluating progress, delegating responsibilities, setting priorities, and informing others.
