Welcome:)

Hello and welcome everyone!

I figured I would center my very first blog around my passions, flipping and cooking. I a collegiate cheerleader who absolutely loves to accomplish new tumbling skills. In addition, I have formed a endearment for cooking (thanks quarantine.) I can’t wait to share some of my skills, recipes, and experiences with you all. I will also be adding academic material here for various courses that I am enrolled in at Oregon State University throughout my undergraduate career from time to time.

I think that one of the biggest challenges toward maintaining a job description is that the task seems so minuscule that it often gets pushed to the back of an HR representatives’ mind. It is a simple job to write up a brief summary of the basic requirements to almost any given role. Once that is accomplished, people in charge will generally do a mental check off working themselves are forget about it all together. In the learning materials, the blog article titled “A Job Worth Doing: Update Descriptions” explains how it is easy to push off the written up job description to some binder and allow it to collect dust. This seems like a very likely thing to do and easy to overlook. I would say the number one reason job descriptions are not updated as often as they should be is simply because the chore is overlooked. This can be a problem for potential recruits, and it can make future employers feel off-put by a position. Doing this means that employers are not operation their business as efficiently as they could be. There are also legal issues associated with not updating a job description. For example, if an employee does something and decides to sue the company for whatever reason, but the task is mentioned in the job description, then that may just save the company a lawsuit.
