Students will study their own job to identify common tasks that they perform as part of their work (if you are a full time student identify job tasks in a future job you hope to get). Job descriptions or announcements for jobs often contain a list of job tasks. Asking others to list your job tasks might also help you identify what you do. Once you have identified a list of tasks ( most people have more than a dozen unique job tasks), rate the tasks based on how someone else with the same level of schooling and talent, but located in a different country where the pay is only 20% of your current pay level could perform them. Use a simple rating system such as 1= could easy do the job, 2= could possibly do the job, 3= most likely they could do the job, 4 = mostly they could not do the job, and 4= could not do the job. Review your ratings and determine which tasks of your job are options for outsourcing or offshoring and which are not (see Chapter Six on Fungibility). Summarize your feelings about this job task analysis. Submit the job task analysis and your summary as a Microsoft Word attachment in an email to the Instructor (poole@wmich.edu). Please complete this assignment by midnight on February 23rd.
