HRM Week 3

1. The occupation I choose was a Chief Executive (CEO) and it was fairly simple to find. O*Net has a simple search engine where simply typing what you are looking for populates several results. The information provided is easily read and colorfully laid out for simple understanding. Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities are all generalized requirements in any job position description but I like that Personality block. This block allows a prospected employee to know that if they don’t like being in a leadership position that this may not be the job for them. I also like the Technology block, it tells you what software you may be using in a job like this one.
2. Based on my skills O*Net did not select the same occupation I did previously but the program did suggest careers I have already been a part of. I have several years’ experience in bookkeeping, administrative, first line supervisors, and some human resources. Being that my current degree program is concentrated in human resources it is good to know that I have the skills deemed necessary by O*Net to work in a human resources position.
3. Working as a human resources professional conducting a job analysis using O*Net would be beneficial. I would use this site to compare what other companies are looking for in their employees. What requirements they have and what kind of personalities fit that position. If my company is McDonalds and my competitor is Burger King who has now required its burger flippers to hold some sort of culinary degree and to develop new recipes. I might want to look further into this because we could no longer be a head to head running company. In that case I may need to up my hiring standards and also hire burger flippers with a culinary degree.
4. As a human resources director I would not mandate my staff use this site. The reason being that I do not believe enough people know about this site to make it a comparable marketer. Other online job search engines are way more widely known and
