Choose a job held either by you or a colleague at your current (or past) employer. State the job title, and conduct either a job-oriented or person-oriented job analysis using a methodology of your choice (from the textbook).
Method: In your discussion board post, please state which methodology you chose to base your analysis on, and explain how you approached your analysis. It may not be possible to carry out each step of the formal approach and you should adapt where necessary. However, you should also explain what you would have done if you had all resources available.
Results: Describe your findings from the job analysis. The specific elements you include should reflect your methodology. For example, if you chose to do your analysis using the Job Components Inventory, you should explain the employee skills that would satisfy each required job component as part of your results.
Your response should be at least 200 words in length. You are required to use at least your textbook as source material for your response. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.
