Part 1. Job Analysis
Step 1: Read the Job Analysis Exercise
Please read the Job Analysis Exercise Document. Take off your manager/employee hat and put on your HR professional hat as you read. Think of this exercise as a job analyst; the job analyst is a role in HR that is responsible for understanding jobs- in what they entail in terms of tasks, responsibilities, and skills- and writing job descriptions. Once you have completed this portion of the assignment, please proceed to Step2: O*Net Online Job Description.
Step 2: Use the O*Net Online Job Search Tool
Please Visit , be sure to record your findings on Dietician Technicians.
Step 3: Incorporating your knowledge of your job and the O*Net information in the previous step, use the Job Description model on page 4 of the Job Analysis Exercise file, including the Sentence Analysis Technique on page 5, and identify the following:
- Top 5 tasks
- Top 5 KSAs (Knowledge, Skills, and abilities)
- Please reflect on and answer the following questions:
- (a) were steps 1 and 2 sufficient to capture your job and accurately document it?
- (b) what else would you want to do to document your job description?
- (c) what pros and cons do you see in the process of writing job descriptions and job specifications?
- Please note that these are reflection questions that will be evaluated based on critical thinking and a demonstration that the student is engaging the chapter material.

The Burt’s Bees document contains accompanying questions under the Discussion Questions section; reflect on all four questions and integrate your reflections in answering this overarching question: how is job crafting different from job design? In other words, answer the aforementioned question and give examples and reflections from questions 1, 3, and 4.
