a cashier at the local grocery store for two years, is always on time, and has
excellent customer service skills. An assistant store manager position will be
available soon and Alana’s manager is considering her for the position. She
will be the only internal candidate considered. To prepare for the selection
process, Alana’s manager has asked her to prepare a report that provides ideas
for how the store could be improved and remain competitive with other grocery
stores. Describe how Alana might create the report by using the information
literacy skills of:

evaluating, and effectively using the needed information
What specific skills will
she need to do these things well? Could you successfully complete this report
