Assignment 1 Job Analysis Power Point Presentation
Worth up to 18 points and 18% of course grade
Objective of the assignment:
Job analysis is a core skill for HR professionals and a key task
for organizations to perform. So many of the employment
decisions are
based on this one task. The purpose of the activity is for you to
gain practice in conducting a job analysis and to gain
knowledge about
the methods to collect data for the analysis.
Deliverable:
For this assignment, you are asked to develop a plan to gather
data for a job analysis, use at least two of the methods to gather
data, write a short job description and job specification based
on the data you have gathered. Please do not use your own
position and
do not use a job description already written. If you do not work

2. outside the home, you have other opportunities for positions to
analyze. If you do not have a position in a typical office, retail
establishment or production facility you can use, seek out a
position from
elsewhere. The opportunities could include a server at a
restaurant, a service provider in your home, your hair stylist, a
sales assistant,
the receptionist at your doctor’s office or perhaps your child’s
au pair, tutor, teacher or nanny.
First review the material presented in the course about how to
conduct a job analysis, the various methods for collecting data
and the
pros and cons of the various methods.
After you have selected your methods for collecting the data,
select the position (a job) to analyze and use at least two of the
methods
for collecting data, collect the data using the methods selected
and summarize your findings in a short job description and job
specification. .
In the power point presentation, share the following:
1. Provide an academic definition of job analysis and a short
description of how it is used in organizations. Provide an in text
citation
for the definition.
2. The position you selected to analyze.
3. The methods you selected for gathering data, an academic
definition of each, an in text citation and the pros and cons of
each data
collection method you selected.

3. 4. The rationale for why you selected the methods you did (tell
why you selected the methods you did).
5. A description of your experience in collecting the data (how
did it go? - was is easy, hard, stressful? for example).
6. A short sample position description and job specification
you were able to design based on the data you gathered. Include
an
academic definition of position description and specification
along with the in text citation for each.
7. Suggestions for data gathering if you were to complete this
assignment again and desire to make it even more accurate.
Please try to present your data in no more than 10 slides
including your title slide and reference page (recall that if you
have in text
citations you must also have a reference page and it is to be in
APA format including displayed in alphabetical order). Keep all
the
relevant content in the slide content area and use the notes area
on the slide for other supplemental information
