Lesson 04 Assignments

1. Complete the Lesson 04 Quiz.

2. Prepare a response, of approximately 1000 words total, to the following:

   Select one job in your organization—and note whether it is non-exempt (hourly paid) or exempt (salaried). If you are currently not employed, locate an employer who will allow you to review two job descriptions.

   Using a source for job descriptions such as O*NET, or another source of your choice, compare the description that you have with one from the source that closely resembles your description.

   Based on your new-found description, how might you improve on your description?

   Assume that the organization has decided to move to competency descriptions. Write your description keeping in mind how to use competency-based job analysis.

   Explain which approach, traditional or the more recent competency approach, you prefer and why.

   Attach each original job description in Appendix A and Appendix B.
