How do you start a job analysis questionnaire?

First, identify the areas of the job you want to evaluate. Typical areas are: tasks, duties, responsibilities, special skills, licensure or certification, supervisory responsibilities and effect of actions (financial or other). Develop specific questions for each of the areas. Make sure you ask questions about the amount of time the job requires for each area you are evaluating. If you need help getting started, check online for sample questionnaires to provide ideas for the development of your own questions. Be very sure your questions are objective and job related. "Test" your questionnaire with one employee to be sure you are asking questions that obtain the information you want to evaluate the position. You'll know you are successful if you can use the completed questionnaire to write an accurate and comprehensive job description. It's also a good idea to ask a person supervising the job to complete the questionnaire. It's interesting to see the perceptual differences between an employee in the job and the supervisor. It's best to work out those differences with some constructive conversations before you issue the job description.
