20 POINTS

The Job Analysis Project requires that you interview at least 1 friend, family member, or other incumbent who has a job (i.e., a subject matter expert), and you will conduct a job analysis on that individual’s job. You cannot analyze your own job, and you cannot use the same subject matter expert as another student. Interviews can be conducted via phone, email, or video chat. For this initial assignment, you will only be writing a job and organization description.

Formatting of this assignment must be in 12-point Times New Roman Font with 1-inch tabs. The entire report must be double-spaced and use appropriate APA style. Complete this assignment in a different documents than this one.

Part 1: Background information

Job Incumbent Information (5 points):

· Job Title: The formal title of the job you are analyzing as given by the employing organization.

· Organization: Who does the incumbent(s) work for?

· Name(s) of job incumbents/interviewees and contact information (e.g., work phone number or email address)

· Tenure in This Job: How long has the incumbent(s) worked in this position?

· Tenure with the Organization: How long has the incumbent(s) worked for this company/person?

· Hours worked per week: How many hours per week on average does the incumbent(s) work?

· Dates and times of interviews and/or observation.

**A bulleted list for this section is preferred**

Job Description (5 points): Provide 2-3 sentences on the essential functions of the job and 2-3 sentences on the organizational context. For the description of the job, comment on topics such as scope of the job, purpose, and responsibilities. For the description of the organizational context, comment on topics such as the size, mission, vision, and purpose of the organization or any other relevant information you find. You may use online resources to gather information about the organizational context, but please cite your sources using APA.

Suggestions

1. Select a job and/or organization you would actually like to learn more about!

2. Pick a subject matter expert with whom you have access to throughout the semester.

3. Select a subject matter expert who has worked long enough in his or her current role to reach a certain level of proficiency (i.e., the more complex the job, the more years it takes to reach proficiency).
