For each of the 13 "typical" jobs, this book describes the:
- General function of the position

- and more!
Because organizations often combine positions or tailor job descriptions to the specific activities required, purchasers of this PDF will receive an editable Word version of this publication. This editable version provides the job description information in a “pick list” type of format that will enable users to customize the descriptions to the specific requirements of their organizations.
