Muse Analyzing a Job - Rewriting a Job Description With a variety of age cohorts seeking employment, some would prefer to traditionally walk through a business’ front door and personally inquire of any job openings. Others would prefer to frequent different job search engines on the Internet in the comfort of their own home. Websites such as www.monster.com, www.careerbuilder.com, and www.simplyhired.com are great tools for job seekers and job postings are listed by date. For this analysis, the popular website used to search for a job posting is www.indeed.com and the selected job position is for a Target Team Leader in San Diego, California. The analysis will include the identified need, strategy, performance requirements, and the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA) required to satisfy the operational gap within the organization.

The duties of the position will be included in the performance requirements and its distinction from KSAs will be explained as well. For most, job postings are a potential employee’s initial point of contact with a given organization and the posting itself can identify the need of the organization.

...Resourcing Talent – Talent Planning in an Organisation 1. Four factors that affect an organisations approach to attracting talent are: * Expansion – A company that keeps expanding attracts a lot of new talent who want job security and promotion prospects. * Development opportunities – A company who offer learning and development opportunities will attract a lot of talent who want to learn new skills to better their career. Without training prospects a lot of talent will be lost. * Salary – A company with lower levels of salary wouldn’t attract as much talent as higher levels of pay. Workers want their hard work to reflect in their wages. * Benefits packages – A company with good benefits package also attracts talent. People want to see what the company offers to safeguard and assist their employees. 2. Three organisation benefits of attracting and retaining a diverse workforce are: * A varied array of employees means different levels of skills and knowledge, enabling each sector of an organisation to excel. * A diverse workforce means people possess different attitudes and values whether these values are derived from race, religion or even nationality.

...need to hire new employees. Selecting the wrong person could be a costly mistake when considering the amount of money involved in recruiting and training new employees. According to (Wienclaw, 2010), “the tools used to select new employees need to be demonstrably related to the job and must help the organization select those employees with the appropriate knowledge, skills, abilities, and other characteristics necessary for job success” (p. 1). To identify the recruitment and selection methods at Wal-Mart, a job description for a Senior Manager in Marketing-Promotions was selected from their website. This particular job description was selected because it includes position details, job duties, performance standards and job factors. In this paper, a concept map and associated discussion summarize the steps of the recruiting and selection process using the chosen job description. Dialogue surrounding performance standards and rationale for included components are offered as well. The recruitment process begins when Wal-Mart recognizes a human resource need within the company that is not being met by current employees. Once the position is determined to be necessary, upper management is able to conduct a job analysis...

This discussion will include the offering salary for the replacement, hiring requirements, training tools used, what is expected of the replacement and a performance evaluation to score the new employee. I do have an advantage in my favor from previously training new hires in the same department as me. Although I was not part of the hiring staff, knowing what was needed from the replacement having done the job for 5 years gave me a comfortable advantage. To begin the search for a replacement, a description is needed to clarify to the candidates who and what is needed to fill the position. Job descriptions are written statements that describe the duties, responsibilities, required qualifications, and reporting relationships of a particular job. Employee job descriptions are based on objective information obtained through job analysis, an understanding of the competencies and skills required to accomplish needed tasks, and the needs of the organization to produce work...

...What is burnout? Burnout is a state of emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It occurs when you feel overwhelmed and unable to meet constant demands. As the stress continues, you begin to lose the interest or motivation that led you to take on a certain role in the first place. Burnout reduces your productivity and saps your energy, leaving you feeling increasingly helpless, hopeless, cynical, and resentful. Eventually, you may feel like you have nothing more to give. Most of us have days when we feel bored, overloaded, or unappreciated; when the dozen balls we keep in the air aren’t noticed, let alone rewarded; when dragging ourselves out of bed requires the determination of Hercules. If you feel like this most of the time, however, you may be flirting with burnout. You may be on the road to burnout if: Every day is a bad day. Caring about your work or home life seems like a total waste of energy. You’re exhausted all the time. The majority of your day is spent on tasks you find either mind-numbingly dull or overwhelming. You feel like nothing you do makes a difference or is appreciated. The negative effects of burnout spill over into every area of life—including your home and social life. Burnout can also cause long-term changes to your body that make you vulnerable to illnesses like colds and flu. Because of its many consequences, it’s important to deal with burnout right away. Dealing with Burnout: The "Three...
