Minimum Requirements

Start with developing the minimum job requirements including:

• Summary Statement—provides a synopsis of the major purpose of
  a position and its role in the department.
• Duties—major subdivisions of work performed by one individual.
• Tasks—work operations that are logical, essential steps in the performance
  of a duty. The ‘‘tasks’’ section of the description defines
  the methods, procedures, and techniques by which duties are carried
  out. It should show:
• • What is done (action)
• How it is done (procedures, materials, tools, or equipment)
• Why it is done (purpose)
• Begin each task statement with an action verb in the first-person
  present tense (e.g., write, calibrate, analyze, coordinate, approve, accept,
  devise, or develop).
• Degree of Supervision—supervision either given or received.

Once you have the essential minimum requirements, put them into your
job template.
