It's amazing to me how many smaller companies are careless about job descriptions. I've found sometimes the best part of writing a job description is agreeing *internally* on what kind of employee you want. For example, if you're hiring a graphic designer, is this someone who needs to know how to do print collateral, PowerPoint, illustration, web graphics, schematics? Many of these tasks require different skill sets. You can get a fabulous illustrator who is hopeless when it comes to web design and vice-versa. Agreeing internally on the skill sets needed is half the battle. Great post! It’s amazing to me how many smaller companies are careless about job descriptions.
