JOB DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS

Part 2: Job Description and Job Analysis Instructions

You will complete this assignment in 2 parts: the Job Description and the Job Analysis.

JOB POSITION: Social and Human Service Assistants

Job Description

There are several examples of job descriptions. Exhibit 2.6 (in Part 2 Exercise 30) of the Nkomo et al. (2011) text provides a template for the position that you are researching. You will create an original job description. Do not copy a job description used by O*NET, on the internet, from a printed resource, or already completed by anyone or any organization. You may gather ideas and information from these resources and then decide what information and what elements for the job description are necessary. Spend time investigating what you need to complete this project. There are many great resources to help you. Consult the Heneman et al. (2015) text. It provides many of the needed resources and hints for accomplishing your task. SHRM.org and O*NET are great places to start (remember the O*NET resource is a required resource for this project). No in-text citations are to be included in the job description itself; they must appear in the discussion of the job analysis that is to follow. You do not need to include a title page prior to the job description. Note that a job description is the end result of a job analysis process, not the beginning. Take a look at Chapter 4 of the Heneman et al. (2015) text for details of the job analysis process to help you on the way to the job analysis.
