Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, review this week’s readings and Weekly Lecture.

Prien, Goodstein, Goodstein, and Gamble (2009) defined several tools and techniques for gathering data related to a job. In Week 1, you completed a position questionnaire for a potential job analysis. In addition to a position questionnaire, there are other tools available to gather data and information to support the analysis.

Explain how each of these tools would add substance related to the position and credibility to the resulting job analysis.

Based on the first letter of your last name, you will review the scenario that you have been assigned to and determine the most appropriate tool(s) for gathering the necessary data and information for a credible job analysis.
