7th November 2011 - Research on Job Description and Person Specification


This session allowed me to gain more knowledge and understanding about what an employer is needed to have from an employee when applying for an HR Job. I had to research 3 appropriate Job Descriptions and 3 Person Specification for graduate jobs in my career area. I found this to be very interesting as I not only got to research on various job sites but also came across researching on the professional bodies in charge of these fields.
Before I start to research into different job sites, I first have to understand the difference between Job description and person specification. For that I came across this website which explains quite a lot about these two categories (ehow) differ. Job description, however, gives details about the jobs such as responsibility needed in a person applying for the job and person specification determine what a person need to essentially have in order to apply for the job. I also came across this you tube video which explains more about what is person specification and why is it important in business organisation.




By researching into different websites and finding 3 Job Description and 3 Person Specification, it helped me a lot as I came across the different skills and responsibility which is needed by the employer in an HR field.  This also helped me in knowing more on this field which will be useful for me once I become graduated.
