Most of the amateur workers, as well as fresh graduate members of the labor force will hop into jobs without even understanding their job descriptions. This practice is quite understandable as they do not have much experience in the work industry. Many of these new graduates are just happy to have been accepted in a job and will try everything to avoid being too curious or aggressive when it comes to work. They may think that job descriptions will give a negative impression to their employers.
This could not be more wrong because employers in general, are amused in employees who ask about their job description. This only show that the employee is interested in understanding fully his or her job and would like to know what his or her specific responsibilities are. Here are some reasons why job descriptions are important to employees and even to those who are seeking for jobs.
•Knowledge Of Duties And Responsibilities A job description will supply you with a list of your roles and functions. This is to ensure that you know what specific works you are expected to perform and which jobs you are not supposed to do. Guessing should never be an option; however, you may be trying to give your best in jobs you are not supposed to perform. Your evaluation will be that you are not doing your job. Because if you end up doing works that are not within your job description, you will not be credited with those performance.
•Avoid Being Taken Advantage Of There will be instances when as a newbie in their company, you will be asked to do specific duties that are not within your job description. It is completely legal to point to your job description and say, politely, that the particular works they are asking you to perform does not fall under your job description. You may, of course, choose to do these duties if you have done your work and want to help others in finishing theirs too. Still, make it clear that what you are doing is not within your job description and somehow will not be credited under your job performance. You and your manager may choose to talk about whether these duties should be included and the proper remuneration for such actions.
•Progress Reports or Papers Are What They Need There have been cases of numerous complaints of the employees saying that they did their best, worked over time, and gave their all, but did not receive the proper acknowledgement they should be getting form their employers. To that fact, unfortunately, employers are too busy with much more important things than to always keep track of your performance. You may need to submit reports regarding your progress and performance. This of course, should be based on your job description or else it will not make any sense and will only confuse your employer.
Review your job descriptions before engaging in any work field so that you will know what to expect.
