1. Discussion : 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 a) select the position (a job) to analyze, b) use at least two methods for collecting data, c) collect the data using the methods selected, and d) 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 (HR Coordinator for a non-profit pharmaceutical organization)

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.

2. Discussion

a) Summarize and explain the major EEOC laws related to the recruiting process. How can recruiters and hiring managers reduce the risk of adverse impact?

b) Discuss three methods of recruiting to obtain a diverse group of applicants and explain why they are effective.

c) 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?

d) Application: Read the Module 2 Case and in-depth scenario 1. 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 and organizational risks and discuss suggestions for how the hiring practices at HSS should be modified.
