OBJECTIVE:
This assignment will introduce you to the concepts and practices of job analysis while providing an opportunity to see how these concepts are applied to actual jobs. You will learn how to create a job analysis and how to write a job description.
GUIDELINES:
1. Create a job analysis for a job of your choice that you will work with for the rest of the semester (recommended: choose a job you're interested in as a possible future career). Conduct a job analysis interview: cannot be with yourself, find someone currently in the position who is willing to sit down and talk about their job. During your interview, ask the respondent to describe their job in terms of the tasks they perform and the knowledge, skills, abilities, and other characteristics (KSAOs) needed to perform the tasks. You should also ask them about the relative amount of time spent on different tasks and the importance of various tasks to their job.
2. Writea 2-3page paper (not including cover page, references, or appendices) that discusses the process you used to conduct your job analysis and why you chose the method(s) you chose. It must be typewritten and follow APA format (12-point font, double-spaced, standard margins) and include proper references when appropriate.
3. Organize the various parts of your paper with the section headings provided below (headings are identified in bold). You can use the task inventory and knowledge, skills, abilities, and other characteristicsKSAO table templates listed below or create your own.

Helpful Hints: You may use the interview guide or use your own questions. You may also record the tasks in the job task table template and the KSAOs in the templates below. Add or remove rows as needed. You can use the two suggested rating scales, frequency and importance, or you can use your own. Be sure to ask the respondent the current minimum requirements to get the job, any training required upon hire, tools and equipment used, and about the physical working environment. For an example of a job description, you can refer to Table 2.1 of your textbook.
