...TASK - 1 TECHNIQUES OF JOB ANALYSIS RECRUITMENT: It is a process of attracting applicants either from within the organization or from outside for a vacant job to be filled in the organization. In the words of Torrington et al (2011): “ includes those practices and activities carried out by the organization with the primary purpose of identifying and attracting potential employees.” In order to fill the vacancy, it is very important that the description about the job should be clear. It helps in hiring the candidate whose profile match with that of the job. As per Torrington et al (2011), ”The approach involves breaking the job down into its component parts, working out what its chief objectives will be and then recording this on paper.” In other words, it is the set of information about the job. Job description can be made by using the data contained in job analysis. There are various techniques which can be used to make a good job analysis. There are many writers who have talked about and researched on the various techniques of job analysis. Following two literature reviews makes clear about these methods. LITERATURE REVIEW – 1 In a book by Foot and Hook (2008), they described job analysis as follows: “Job analysis is a process of gathering together all data about an existing job, which activities are performed and what skills are needed.” Foot and Hook (2008), also described that this job analysis is further used for making job description and job specification...

...American writer David Sedaris is a distinguished person. He has nine “essay collections,” most of which are very commercially successful. It all started with “SantaLand Diaries,” an essay that was the spark to his flaring fame. He is the second of six children and was brought up in North Carolina but has been living in Europe for a long time with his boyfriend Hugh Hamrick. His works receive critical acclaim and adoration from readers and were nominated to and won several awards as well (Wikipedia, “David Sedaris”). Sedaris’ writings are personal essays, which should provide great insight into his personality due to their autobiographical nature. An important feature of him that manifests clearly in his writings and interviews is hiding his weaknesses, which is a part of his perfectionist tendencies. Sedaris always tries to make things funnier than they really are. It is as if he is wearing a mask, a funny one, so that whatever bothers him wouldn’t leak through his façade and reveal his vulnerability to the world. An example of this was obvious in his interview for Dutch TV. He mentioned that his “youngest sister committed suicide” and the devastating effect this had on his family. However, he added that he included funny details in a story he wrote about this incident and his relationship with his deceased sibling. (Brands, “David...

...– HR and Facilities Coordinator Date: November 13, 2015 Subject: Job analysis of present role – BAT Iraq, HR and Facilities Coordinator Dear Supervisor, As requested, the following memo discusses a comprehensive job analysis of HR and Facilities Coordinator at British American Tobacco. A thorough 5-step job analysis process was examined to identify the knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs and experience) associated with the successful performance (Belcourt & McBey 86). Furthermore, critical incidents technique, one of the five well-known techniques, was used. The result of the job analysis has presented a new job description (JD) that better reflects my current tasks and duties, and provides specific guidance on how to perform the job in accordance with the organizational strategy (Belcourt & McBey 87). The 5-step job analysis was used to review my current position as a way to ensure high performance and contribution to the goals of the business: 1. Given that my position is central and critical (only HR member based in Erbil, Iraq), the analysis was carried out immediately. 2. The chosen methods to analyze was a combination of the following: a. Journals and Diaries: during Q2 of 2015, all my job activities were noted on a daily basis in addition to the length of time required for each. b. Current JDs and Specifications: in reviewing a previous/current JD for my job, it was clear that the scope of work has evolved and widened. For example: ...

...improve my coaching and mentoring skill 2) Assessment of current skills level During my bachelor degree, I was the general event coordinator for almost 4 years for an association that does charity called Hand in Hand Association. We had to organize a yearly fundraising event that was considered to be the biggest event at our university. I had to manage, guide, and mentor 11 committees of 11 coordinators; Therefore, I had to support the coordinator and help them achieve our targeted goal which was to raise an amount of fund by the end of the day of the event. Every year, when the D-day got closer, the coordinator including myself started stressing and panicking, hence as their support, I had to organize some teambuilding activities such as paintballing, hiking, and other activities to help them reduce their stress level and to motivate them stay focused on our targeted goal whatever the obstacles are. Therefore, I can proudly say that at the end of every fundraising event, we were able to raise the amount of money that we had as a goal and sometimes even exceed it. The reason why I chose to work on this interpersonal skill is to help me in my future career because I want to be an HR consultant, and as we all know, a good consultant must master the skill of coaching and mentoring. In a rating out of 10, I would give myself a 5 point in this skill because I believe that I still need training in order to master it. Furthermore, I still need to work on my stress...

...Marva Young SID# 64726 February 26, 2014 BAM535 Advanced Human Resource Management Unit 1 Question #2: Job analysis is a key HR function. Provide an overview of the job analysis process, including brief descriptions of key job analysis techniques. Job analysis is defined as the process used to collect information about the task, responsibilities of a given job, duties (which can include frequency, duration, skill, effort etc.) and outcomes and work environment (can include unpleasant conditions and extreme temperatures. These can include definite risk) of a particular job. It usually answers questions like who does the work, where does the work come from and what equipment is used. The job analysis is completed by the HR and a line manager or an incumbent. A job analysis is an analysis of the job and not the person so you stick to the jobs description and not the personal effects of an employee. There are several tools that can be used to conduct a job analysis. I will briefly discuss observations, interviews, questionnaires and surveys and checklist. The first, observations is watching employees do their jobs and writing down notes. The observer can do some of the job task themselves and ask questions to the employees while they work. The second, interviews is a face-to-face tool. The interview is best when there is a specific set of questions based on the observations...

...After realizing the likelihood of furthering his education was nonexistent, Nikitenko learns of a plot devised by his teachers. “Suddenly I received a letter from Grabovsky. He wrote that he had discussed my situation with other teachers at the school and then conceived a plan that might help me gain admission to the high school.”(Up From Serdom, School) While the author’s proceeding actions immediately disclose the foundational problems present within his teacher’s plans, Grabovsky’s reveal as a benefactor and confidant to Nikitenko despite his social status exceeds all expectations the reader holds for that of a serf. That multiple individuals of higher social standing would risk so much through patronage creates a viewpoint for the reader that does not base itself in the reality that was life for most serfs at the time. That Aleksandr would refuse to act on his teacher’s patronage speaks volumes to his intellect but further creates a bastardized...

...Crockett died? His death has always been controversial. Did he die fighting to the end like Walt Disney’s movie portrays, or was he violently executed? According to eyewitness Jose Enrique de la Pena’s diary, Santa Anna’s troops “...with swords in hand, fell upon these unfortunate, defenseless men just as a tiger leaps upon his prey,” (104) including Davy Crockett. Many historians have argued about the credibility of this diary, and James Crisp wanted to find out the truth as well. In his book, Sleuthing the Alamo, he goes into deep detail about what he did to try to determine if the diary was a forgery or not, and what he eventually found out....

...EXPLORING THE REFLECTIVE PRACTITIONER- ASSIGNMENT 1 “We teach to change the world.” (Brookefield, 1995: 1) This first section discusses reflection, as a teacher, why should I reflect upon my practice? What do I achieve? I feel that the process of reflection allows me to learn from my own experiences as a teacher, by providing me with a record of what I have done and an assessment of where I want to end up. Reflecting provides me with a focus for my teaching, where I constantly question what it is I am asking my students to do and why I am asking them to do it. So when I reflect, I not only challenge my own assumptions about what I do, I also identify areas where I feel that I could be lacking and possibly where I may be setting or working to standards that are too high and therefore unachievable by my students. There are many models that we can utilize to help us think reflectively. The Peters Model (1994) asks us to think of a particular situation we experienced and then to step back and allow ourselves to question the assumptions that we have made about that situation. Alternatively Brookfield suggests that we should use ‘critical lenses’, so that we look at a situation from our own viewpoint, from our colleagues’ viewpoint, from our students’ viewpoint and from a theoretical viewpoint. He calls these four viewpoints critical lenses and reminds us that, “A critically reflective educator knows that while meeting every one’s needs sounds compassionate and learner-centred...

I will also look at how I can implement changes to my personal, academic & personal skills to help me develop them too. Assessment of Self At the start of my journey of personal development I undertook a simple ‘Assessment of Self’ task to briefly establish what and why I wanted to improve my skills. This was in the way of a few questions…..Goals, Barriers etc. (Appendix 1). I then moved on to a more in depth way of assessment through a skills audit which helped me to identify my strengths and weaknesses and what I could improve on. Skills Audit The skills audit (Appendix 2) was a process of questions around different communication techniques, teamwork and IT Skills. The answers I gave, in my opinion, felt most appropriate to my current skill set. Upon finishing the audit I chose 2 weaknesses and strengths evidently shown in the results. Weaknesses * Academic Reading * Academic Writing Strengths * Teamwork ...

...Introspective Analysis: My Limited Writing Experience in a Nutshell I have never kept a journal or a diary. Writing things down never made me feel better so my first real experience in any type of writing was in school. Before then I had not given writing much thought. I read a lot of books, magazines and papers; how hard could it be? It wasn’t long before I had a real eye opening experience trying to write my first real formal paper. Writing has never been easy for me so when I started writing formal papers in college it was one of the more difficult assignments for me. In the first part of this essay, I will review my first experience in writing a formal college paper, how the Professor encouraged me to actually finish the paper, then in the second part of my paper I will describe my experiences with research and MLA formatting style. I will never forget my first college English Composition class. When I walked into the class it looked like any other classroom. People were sitting in what I was sure was their comfort spots in the classroom, some in front, some in back. I, of course, chose a middle seat. I pulled out the books and papers I needed for the class and sat quietly. When the Professor started the class we all signed in and of course, we had to write an introduction of ourselves to him. That seemed easy enough. I wrote it out and handed it in and was passed back a syllabus. The final draft of our first paper wasn’t even due for four weeks. At that time I never imagined...

...Lane McVicker Goodrich History 101-Western Civilization 26 November 2012 Analysis of The Passion of Perpetua and Felicitas There have been many written records discovered since the period of the Roman Empire, and even earlier, though a vast majority of those discovered have been written by men. Documents written by women were incredibly rare, especially taking into account the time period and the role women were appointed for many centuries. One of the very few surviving texts written by women was from a martyr named Perpetua. She was a young women who documented her own struggles, as well as the struggles of another woman and acquaintance named Felicitas. She recorded their fight and strong efforts of living out their faith, expecting a child, as well as their days in prison that led up to her death. Perpetua's diary-like inscriptions of her personal life is now very important and useful in obtaining a glimpse into what it might have been like for women of this era, as well as what her goal was in trying to persuade her audience. The manner in which Perpetua documents the events that lead to her death ostensibly hint at what her purpose in documenting her time was in the first place. Perpetua's calm and collected nature of writing is meant to motivate other Christians at this time to proclaim and stand firm in their Christian beliefs. The Roman Empire, reigning for nearly five hundred years and through the life of Christ, played a significant role in the establishment...
