The Public Sector in South Australia has for many years used "Job & Person Descriptions" that Consist of 3 major parts:
Our department is currently looking at a competency based model for job descriptions. http://www.managementhelp.org/staffi...s/cmptncys.htm states that "competencies are general descriptions of the abilities needed to perform a role in the organization. Competencies are described in terms such that they can be measured."
I would be interested to hear from others about their experience in working with competency based job descriptions and how this has affected their recruitment processes and outcomes. Although competencies do not include experience, it would seem logical that experience will continue to be important in being able to demonstrate a given competency.
What are your thoughts?
PS: Quick reminder that the "Write Yourself A Job!" book (a guide to writing a Resume or CV) is still available for FREE download at <link outdated-removed> . Would love feedback on new look of site.
