...Job Analysis Paper Psych 435 February 28, 2011 Nursing Job Analysis A job analysis is a process used to determine and identify the details of a specific job requirement or duties and the significance of these duties for the given job (Spector, 2008). In a job analysis there are also judgments about the data collected on-the-job (Fine & Crinshaw, 1999). It is also important to remember that a job analysis is conducted for the job position and not the person. The data collected for a job analysis comes from current questionnaires or interviews, the specification and description of the job (Spector, 2008). The main purpose of a job analysis is to document and establish the job relatedness of employment procedures such as interviewing, selection, training, compensation, and performance appraisals (Fine & Crinshaw, 1999). In this paper a job analysis will be performed on the position of a registered nurse. It will evaluate different performance appraisal methods, explain a variety of benefit and vulnerability of performance appraisals, and also evaluate the reliability and validity of a job analysis. To become a registered nurse there are some requirements. The student needs t o be a high school graduate or GED equivalent.

...still run advertisements are unattractive in the description of the job that needs to be filled and for the most part is bland. So they sit back with their fingers crossed in hopes that an ideal candidate will walk through the door that is a fit for the position and the company. According to Adler (2013), the leaders of the companies are focusing on 17% of those that are looking for work while hoping to employ the 83% that are not looking. In their quest to hire the top candidates, employers must find the most effective way to do so without violating laws such as anti-discrimination and others that are significant. “There are a variety of reasons that hiring managers have a hard time finding the best recruits, including that: employers depend on a surplus of candidates during the hiring process, but seek them in a talent scarce environment; candidates do not know how to engage in the hiring game; and few hiring managers take responsibility for attracting quality candidates because they are focused on attracting quantity, hoping to discover that diamond in the rough. These are all significant issues that need to be addressed, dissected, understood, and reframed in a strategic manner to produce the most effective hiring programs that will attract top talent” (Adler, 2013). In this essay I will submit an advertisement for a position that is needed by my manager. The ad will contain a job description, job responsibilities, and the minimum skills and qualifications for that...

...Continuing Academic Success Students can ensure their academic success by knowing the benefits of setting goals, knowing available resources, and by knowing the writing process, and maintaining academic integrity. Benefits of setting goals Setting goals help increase your motivation by creating a positive climate. They help you plan and gain control over your future and they also add challenge and purpose to your life. Goals also provide a sense of accomplishment. By setting goals you put more focus on the results which make you work smarter not harder, and they reduce stress and add meaning to your life (Milne, 2001, para.). Educational goals are very important to have when thinking of school or even while you are in school. “By setting goals you create a game plan. Goals help you accomplish what is important to you. Goals force you to focus your efforts. Take your dreams, write them down and make them come true. ” (Milne, 2001, para.). When setting goals start with setting a long term goal. Once you have your long term goal create short term goals to help accomplish your long term goal. I love short term goals because they help keep me motivated and looking forward. Also, if I don’t accomplish one, I have many others to fall back on to help me keep my head up. My educational goal is to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in health care administration with a concentration of long term care. Graduating is my long-term educational goal, which is great to have.

Organisations recognize that one of the most important resources - if not the most important - is human resources. Organisations use several ways, methods and tools to select and hire human resources. But it is now a proven fact that organisations using scientifically proven assessment tools to make selection decisions, show significant increase in productivity, increased cost savings and decrease in attrition and other critical organizational problems. Most organizations use what is commonly known in Management circles as a funneling approach to selection, where more informal tools and procedures are used initially to reduce the pool of candidates to a manageable number of individuals who are then be put through a more extensive assessment process. Common initial screening devices include resumes, application blanks and reference checks, which are generally used to identify and exclude those who do not meet the requirement of the orgnisation, from further consideration. Another initial screening device is the informal meeting or phone interview, which is often...

Bridget: I am a Senior Accountant. Justin: So what does that entail? Bridget: I am involved in financial reporting to the State of California, to the Chancellor’s Office for the CSU system, and GAAP, I record investment income and reconciliation, I do special projects, and I do a lot of work to get the reporting accurate every month. Justin: What prompted you to be an accountant? Bridget: Well back in the 80s it was a process of elimination. I did not want to go into the medical field and I didn’t want to be an engineer. So that kind of took the sciences of the table. And I didn’t want to be an English teacher. So that left me with business. When I was in college we had four business majors. It was known accounting was the hardest, then finance, then marketing, and then management. My dad suggested to me, “Why don’t you go with accounting? Start high and if you need to drop down then drop down, but you will always be able to get a job with accounting.” And I like numbers and I’m good with numbers. Justin: Would you say your dad is a source of inspiration? Bridget: No, it was definitely not an inspired decision. It was a very logical and practical decision.
