Job Description Handbook, The Paperback – March 29, 2013

This book is something that many companies could use to develop their own job descriptions. It was useful for my own job description and I will probably pass it on to others who may be able to use its resources.

Don't waste your time or money with this book. It says that it comes with downloadable forms but when you go to the link provided, the link is invalid. I attempted to use the Live Chat feature on nolo.com to get a resolution to this but was told they only chatted with potential clients that have a legal case.

It was alright- didn’t really provide the indepth guidance I was looking for.

This explains the potentials of Job Descriptions well.

good

Clean.

An easy, uncomplicated read providing good input and worksheets for developing job descriptions. Does not cover in very much depth the physical demands and working conditions piece, which I was looking for. I work in an industry that employs a large variety of positions, indoors and outdoors, desk jobs and physically laborious jobs, and in various weather conditions, and we'd like to address physical demands for ADA purposes. This book seems more appropriate for companies whose jobs don't have such a variety of conditions. I did like, however, the simplicity in which it covered the other aspects of job descriptions.

This book is great for green horns like me. The discreptions are realy great and helped me a lot for my new job.

If you really need to know the "how-to-write" a job description, then this book is it. If you desire to compare various job descriptions and see sample description or job profile, then you have to look for another book.

職務記述書をまとめることになり、なかなかよい本がなくこの本に至った。章立てがしっかりしていること、章の中の項目立てもしっかりしていて、読みすすめやすかった。章末に問題もあって解答も解説もあり、理解を助ける。法的な配慮につての部分は、日本国内ではあまり関係ないだろうと思ったので読み飛ばした。でもConsider the Big Pictureとか、Five golden rules for writing job descriptionとか、重要なポイントを学ぶ機会になった。
