Job Descriptions: Don't Re-Invent the Wheel

in unique •  3 years ago 

Do you know that you have a unique job description? Perhaps, this is the reason why you are currently facing trouble with the company that you are working for. Well, the truth is, if you do not have a job description or a guide to help you sort out this mess, then you might be in for some tough times ahead.


You see, your job description is something that will define the kind of work that you are expected to do. It is something that will determine how well you do in your job. In fact, it would not be wrong to say that your job description is the determining factor when it comes to your promotion and salary. And you wonder why you keep getting rejected for promotions. That's because your job description is not something that you can easily sort out.

In fact, there are companies that simply do not give you a chance even if you are armed with a great resume and a very compelling job description. In fact, your job description is just one aspect of the whole promotion process. Of course, your resume and your interview are equally important. But since your job is to present your best skills to prospective employers, how are you supposed to do that if you don't even understand what those skills are?

If you feel that your job description is too general, maybe it is time to readjust it. Ask yourself, do I really have to emphasize the point that I am the best candidate for this particular job? Perhaps I should tweak the job description a bit so that it focuses more on the skills that I possess rather than the specific job duties that they want me to perform. And before you go off to get another copy of your resume, why not do some more reading?


What's the use of having a great job description if you are not qualified for it? For one thing, that will mean that you are not targeting the right kind of job. You need to make sure that the position that you are applying for falls into the right category. If you are applying for a teaching position, you need to make sure that you include details such as being certified or having worked on a school team that was accredited.

There is really no need for you to re-invent the wheel when the wheel already has been invented. All you have to do is customize it so that it fits your needs better. Just make sure that you focus on the details, as well as how the job description is written. If you do that, you will surely get the results that you were aiming for.
