    Solution

    Given was the sample job description of a human resource manager.


    There are several problems in this description. From what I know
    about job descriptions, I have made a list of many problems as I find
    in the job description:

    Problem 1: Classification cannot be exempt

    2. Instead of naming a person, it should mention the designation of


    Reporting manager

    3. Instead of mentioning :

    “Summary/Objective

    The human resource manager is responsible for human resources in


    the company”

    A clear objective like “Human Resource Management and control”


    may look more appropriate

    4. Functions can be rephrased like we cannot mention planning of


    all human resources instead we can write about managing any
    issues with human resources

    A human resource needs to make plan or his/her reporting manager


    or department can make plans. Similarly the departments can make
    their own plans as the candidate is human resource manager and
    not the manging director.

    Also some performance evaluation can be done by department


    managers an not the Human Resource manager

    Furthermore, personnel policies can be developed by human


    resource department and the supervision can be done by human
    resource manager. It cannot be expected that the manager is
    developing the policies himself or herself

    Similarly, the manager cannot be expected to directly develop


    affirmative action program; files EEO-1 annually. The candidate can
    supervise the development.

    5. There are many places where the job description is suggesting as


    if the manager has to do record keeping or do direct recruitments or
    other ground level work. A jon of human resource manager is to
    facilitate, control, manage and monitor the ground level work so
    that the work if done by the team as effectively as possible. So the
    job of the manager should be to get the things done rather than
    doing the work himself or herself.

    6. In competencies the Manager cannot be expected to Financial


    management, though a bit of it may be necessary bit not complete
    financial managent

    7. the experience at “Required Education and Experience” is not


    clear as it also should mention the degree required or not with 9
    years experience

    8. the requirement in the field “Additional Eligibility Qualifications

    “ is also doubtful eligibility criterion.

    9. Similarly in the field Physical Demands “The employee must


    occasionally lift or move up to 25 pounds” is also not clear as to
    why this lift or move would be necessary.

    10. The signature requirement mentioned also looks not obligatory


    as it is sufficient that about the job reaches the candidates
