Create Function Job Analysis

STEP 1:  JOB ANALYSIS:  Conduct a Functional Job Analysis on your own job (a job/internship/volunteer position you currently hold or a job/internship/volunteer position you have previously held). If you have never held a job, internship, or volunteer position, interview someone you know (who has had a job, internship, or volunteer position – but who is not currently enrolled in this course) to find out all about their job in order to complete this assignment.  As discussed in lecture (and in the textbook), to conduct a Functional Job Analysis, you should go to the o*net website (https://www.onetonline.org/  (Links to an external site.) ), click on “Find Occupations”, type in the name of the job being analyzed into the Keyword search, click on the occupation description that best fits. Copy and paste the summary report into your word document, and then revise this o*net summary report as necessary to have it fit the particular position (and organization) being analyzed (i.e., your particular job at your particular organization) (75 points) Then, play around with the formatting a bit so it looks nice (and doesn’t look like it was just copied and pasted from a website). (75 points). Note: Although small assignments are usually supposed to be double spaced, it is OK to single space your job analysis, or parts of your job analysis, if you would like In your assignment, be sure to specify (i.e., at the top of the assignment) the title of the job (and the name of the organization) that is being analyzed (5 points). Note: This job analysis technique is a bit unique in that, by definition of the technique, you are copying and pasting long phrases and/or whole sentences (word-for-word) directly from a website into your paper. Under normal circumstances, this would not be okay (it would be considered plagiarism) – but in this case, it is OK because it is what the technique calls for.  Please be aware that while copying and pasting word-for-word (and then revising as appropriate to have it fit your particular position) is okay for this Step 1 of assignment, this kind of thing is not okay for Step 2 and Step 3 of this assignment (or for future assignments).  Starting in Step 2 of this assignment (and in the remaining small assignments), you should be writing everything in your own words. STEP 2:  RECRUITMENT Decide (and then indicate) what method you are going to use for recruitment (e.g., will you advertise in a newspaper, internet job site like indeed.com, or job fair?). Find out (and then indicate) how much this method will cost your organization. (75 points) Write up the “position description” that interested people will read (e.g., what will your newspaper ad say?). You should use your job analysis to help you write this – and be sure you include the job specification here (e.g., education or experience requirements). (75 points) STEP 3:  SELECTION Prepare (and include) questions for an interview with the applicant – use questions that would fit the category of a “situational interview” or of a “behavior description interview” (or a mixture of both). You may want to write out some possible “ideal answers”. (75 points) Indicate whether you will administer some other test (e.g., biodata instrument, cognitive ability test, job skills/knowledge test, personality test, in-basket test, leaderless discussion) and if so, what kind of test? If using a personality test or biodata instrument, what answers (or traits) do you think will predict good work performance? (75 points)
