Part 1
Job Analysis, Job Description and Specification (20%) i. Conduct a job
analysis by:
1.
Observing
a job incumbent for half an hour
2.
Interview
the job incumbent, preferably someone in who works in HR or office
administration (if possible, interview the direct superior too)
The interview should take 30 minutes to an hour. During this
time, you are to ask the incumbent to describe fully the specific tasks they do
in a typical workday (do a walk-thru of their day from the moment they arrive
until they leave). It is good idea to prepare, in advance, a series of question
you would like to ask about which you intend to collect information from job
incumbents. Take notes for they will be the basis of a job description,
employee specifications, and subsequent parts of this project.

Interview Questions:
What
is your job title?
What
requirements/skills does your position require?

How

What

Has
your field changed much since you entered it?
If
you had to do it over, would you choose this career path again?
What
advice would you offer an aspiring (insert job title)?

ii. Once you have completed your job analysis, prepare a job
description including the job title and description of the job content. The
description of the job content is to be obtained by identifying the most
significant tasks and writing a summary task statement for each of these tasks.

The job description should be structured in a way that
captures briefly position title, key responsibilities, reporting relationships
(who reports to whom?), working conditions (outside work, shift work, travel),
and an equal employment opportunity clause. The description should be
professional in appearance.
