"Yes, writing job descriptions can be both a science and an art. I have over ten years of experience reviewing and editing formal job descriptions in the retail and banking industries. I was taught the proper formatting in college, and through my years of experience, I have been able to master the craft. Now I have designed an SOP and a model job description that makes it much easier to capture all of the duties, KSA, and education required to do a job. I always keep a keen eye on items in the job description that can impact exempt versus non-exempt employment status. On top of that, managers need to be aware that job descriptions need to match the actual reality of the job."
