Job Analysis Survey

INSTRUCTIONS:

Information gathered by this survey will be used as part of creating a job match pattern or benchmark for a particular position. As you complete the survey, draw upon your resources such as a written job description and knowledge of and experience in the job. You may want others who are very familiar with the position to complete a survey also.

Consider the job itself, not what a person who does the job might be like. Be realistic. Respond in terms of acceptable job performance standards, not in terms of a "perfect" employee.

Use the following definitions:
  • Rarely - An activity performed infrequently (or not at all) that is not a key part of the job.
  • Occasionally - An activity performed less often, but the activity is a job function.
  • Frequently - An activity performed every day as a primary job function.
