Is the job you analyzed typical of jobs in its class according to O*NET? How is it the same? How is it different? Is there anything that surprised you about your SME’s job or the O*NET job analysis (e.g., education required, wages, job growth, work values; 1 page)?Interview Notes (5 points): Includes all notes from your interview, including all questions asked and notes related to your SME’s responses.Suggestions1.  Look up examples of job analysis technical reports online2.  Use O*NET OnLine (https://www.onetonline.org/) to get a general idea of the types of tasks and KSAOs you should be identifying but DO NOT copy thema.  Remember, just because the same job title is used does not mean same essential tasks and associated KSAOs identified on O*NET are relevant3.  Yourtask statementsshould function as a record ofobservablebehaviors or work productsa.  Do not include thought processes, attitudes, or traits4.  During the interview, ask for clarification if you do not understand what the SME is saying (e.g., technical jargon)5.  Try to only identify critical work behaviors or productsa.  To select the most critical work behaviors or products, focus on relative time, frequency, difficulty, and consequences of errors for each task identified6.  Write each task statement by identifying the following:a.  What the incumbent does using an action verb (e.g., “operates,” “reads,” “cleans,” or “checks”)b.  To what or whom the task is done (e.g., “truck”, “valve”, or “patients”)c.  You may also include why tasks are performed (e.g., “to locate signs of gum disease”)7.  Use a sufficient level detail in your statements so that the reader would understand what you mean (e.g., “drive a car”)a.  It is NOT necessary to describe the step-by-step process of tasks (e.g., “opens car door,” “inserts key into the ignition,” etc.)b.  However, if the tasks are complex or require less well-known equipment, write statements separately instead of “operates equipment”8.  Have peers critique your job analyses and/or return your job analysis to the incumbent for verification9.  Do not wait until the last minute to begin!!
