Just to give you a small glimpse of what a job analysis would entail please complete the following steps. Use the Job Requirements Matrix slide in the powerpoint lecture as a template:
- Think about a job that you are very familiar with to conduct a mini job analysis for (e.g., waiter/waitress, grocery store cashier, receptionist at a dental office).
- Based on your own knowledge of the job, prepare a list of 10 tasks that person does on the job on a daily basis
- From those 10 tasks see if you can categorize the tasks into 3-4 categories (what we call task dimensions)
- Estimate the percentage of time spent on each task dimension
- Write corresponding KSAOs for each task dimension
- Rate the importance of each task
- Steps 2 to 6 should result in a table similar to the one in the powerpoint lecture (slide titled “Job Requirements Matrix”)
- Then createonejob interview question based on the job analysis you just worked on, focusing your job interview question on one specific task dimension.
- Write 2-3 sentences describing whether you could see yourself going through this type of analysis for every single job in a company.
