Select a company or organization that you currently work for, a company/organization where you previously worked, or a company/organization you aspire to work for in the future.

This paper needs to be four to six+ (4 – 6+) FULL pages, in which you:

Scenario

The management at your organization has approved funding for a brand-new full-time position. This position is eligible for full benefits. As an HR professional, you have been tasked with creating a detailed job description for this new position. You can use your current job, a former job, or a position you would like to move into.

Write a company overview that summarizes the company’s vision, mission, and organizational strategy. Dr. Vic’s Tips: after you have selected a company (a larger company will work best), go to the company’s website and click on the “About Us” area – or similar area where the company’s historical information and mission/vision statements are provided. Then in your own words describe the company’s vision, mission, and organizational strategy (strategy: how do/will they go about accomplishing their organizational mission and vision). Remember: do this…in your own words! 

List three or more qualifications for the position including required knowledge, skills, and abilities.

Include specific academic and technical skills and any required professional affiliations, licenses, or previous experience.

(Dr. Vic’s Tips: see my general tip below [marked with an *] before stating this portion of the assignment, you will need to list three qualifications, the assignment question basically gives you the format: list one required knowledge element, one skill element, and one ability element. Remember: as stated in the assignment scenario, you are creating a NEW detailed job description for a new position! Please do this in your own words, do not copy an existing job description).  

Describe three or more ways the duties and responsibilities associated with this role reflect the organization’s vision, mission, and strategic goals.

(Dr. Vic’s Tips: here you will need to truly show your own skill in blending the duties/roles of the position you are creating with the vision, mission, and strategy of the company which you have already described in question #1. Please have in mind that you need to write this portion so that potential applicants can see for themselves the importance of the position in terms of functional areas AND the overall organization’s purpose (vision, mission, strategy…etc.).

Explain the purpose the job/position serves within the company.

(Dr. Vic’s Tips: here, describe the reason the position is available, for example, to meet company growth, to help with the organizational redesign, to fill a vacancy, to align with new company goals…etc.; then provide an overview of the functional areas of the position – what does the position actually do (day-to-day functions).

Explain how you determined the duties and qualifications for the job.

1. (Dr. Vic’s Tips: here, simply describe how the duties and qualifications were derived, this is not necessarily part of the job description, rather, a discussion within your paper on how you determined these areas. For example, based on similar existing positions, based on lessons learned, based on industry trends, or based on employee survey information…etc. Provide your explanation(s) and provide a brief discussion as well).

*(Dr. Vic’s Tips:  Make certain you have read and reviewed all the information from the “LEARN” area within the Week 3 tab – all the chapters (Ch’s 3 & 5) and videos; you will want to also research the common and even legal portions of a typical job posting – look at several active job postings (from the internet or directly from a company’s website) to determine these common and even legal portions. Really review the Job Overview, Responsibilities and Duties , and, Qualifications areas of your example job postings to notice and learn these areas from a real-life perspective. Please do not plagiarize your job description, it needs to be something you wrote for the job you have selected to write about from your current or past experience.

Identify which laws were considered when creating the job description.

(Dr. Vic’s Tips:  please list elements of labor laws pertinent to the position such as example the FLSA, EEOA, and Equal Pay Acts, etc.). Again, also, review all the information from the “LEARN” area within the Week 3 tab.
