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

Taking information shared during an interview, observation, or questionnaire and evaluating that data to prepare a job analysis requires knowledge and skill.

For this assignment,

• Utilize the SHRM – Job Analysis: Template #2 or a template from the text to develop the analysis.
