Discussion One: Review  the material presented in the course about how to conduct a job  analysis, the various methods for collecting data, and the pros and cons  of the various methods. Then, develop a plan to gather  data for a job analysis. You will need to

• select the position (a  job) to analyze;
• use at least two methods for collecting data; c)  collect the data using the methods selected and
• summarize your  findings in a short job description and job specification.

If you do not  have a position in a typical office, retail establishment or production  facility you can use, seek out a position from elsewhere. The  opportunities could include a server at a restaurant, a service provider  in your home, your hair stylist, a sales assistant, the receptionist at  your doctor’s office or perhaps your child’s teacher.  Include the  following:

1. The position you selected to analyze
2. The methods you selected for gathering data
3. The rationale for why you selected the methods you did
4. A discussion of your experience in collecting this data
5. A short sample position description and job specification you were able to design based on the data you gathered.

You may use a word document if you like or provide your proposal in the content of your response window.

Be sure to provide the references for the sources of the information  you used to inform your analysis including the material provided in the  classroom.

Discussion Two: Complete the following:

1. Summarize and explain the major EEOC laws related to the  recruiting process. How can recruiters and hiring managers reduce the  risk of adverse impact?
2. Discuss three methods of recruiting to obtain a diverse group of applicants and explain why they are effective.
3. Explain the concept of employment at will.  What are the risks and  benefits of employment at will doctrine? How is the employment at will  doctrine influenced by EEOC laws?
4. Application: Read the Module 2 Case and in-depth scenario 1.
5. Draft  a short memo to the founders of HSS to address the issues with the  hiring practices. Specifically, address what laws or regulations may  apply, organizational risks and discuss suggestions for how the hiring  practices at HSS should be modified. You may use a word document if you  like or provide your proposal in the content of your response window.

Be sure to provide the references for the sources of the information you used including the material provided in the classroom.
