- As an HR professional, how could O*NET be useful in conducting a job analysis? Explain specifically how you would use the data from this site to assist your organization.
As an HR professional, the O*NET tool would come in handy because it relays data on certain job elements that help in measuring job performances for a wider scope of an organization’s stakeholders. These stakeholders include managers, employees, and even Human resources personnel. More importantly, however, is the fact that the O*NET analysis tool helps in gauging both general and specific skills required either across the different job titles or in specific jobs. Some general skills include good communication, basic problem-solving skills, and maintaining professionalism with the confines of the organization.
As an HR professional, this tool would be important in knowing what to look for during recruitment and also help in allocating specific tasks with the guide of the O*NET tool. This would further propel the organization to achieve its mission since we have recruited the right professionals with the required attitude and skills. Further, the act of assigning specific tasks to individuals would make it easy to set goals for the employees and assesses them in an effort of realizing the overall organizational goal.
- Name two things you learned about job analysis and/or the job you reviewed that you did not know before reviewing this website.
- My prior perception was that job analysis was just a shallow activity, however, after reviewing this website that changed. I now understand that job analysis is a detailed activity with core elements being skills, knowledge, and the relevant attitude to perform a given task.
- I have also come to understand that one has to be sufficiently equipped with some basic technological and computing expertise, for example, Excel and other softwares that are important in keeping up with client needs.
- Will you utilize this website in the future when looking for jobs or hiring employees? Why or why not?
This is a rare and hidden gem as far as job preparation is concerned. This website will be important to me as a job seeker as it will help me prepare for what is ahead of me in terms of tasks to be carried out in a given profession. The website also helps me in knowing where opportunities are above average which means I have a greater chance of securing a job in this state than the other.
Besides, as a hiring manager, this site will be important in determining what to look for in employees in terms of skills and experience in specific job titles. It is also a good tool for determining the salary range of employees. This prevents over or underpaying employees both of which are detrimental to any organization’s financial wellbeing and employee motivation and output.
