2 Keyword job description search |
|  Start
by creating a new job description or editing an existing one. The
MAUS Job Descriptions program simplifies each task by using uncluttered
screens.
From this screen you can also set up your company information for
use in all your job descriptions. |
 A
new job description is developed by basing it on one of over 3800
job descriptions available in the library.
You can search this library using keywords. |
3 Find a job by category |
4 Find a job by industry |
 Another
way of finding the right job description to start with is to browse
the job library by by job category.
Examples of categories include: "Agricultural, Forestry, Fishing,
& Related Workers", and "Construct, Extract, Repair,
& Transport Workers". |
 Alternatively,
you can browse the job description library by industry.
Examples of job industries include: "Automotive", "Healthcare",

5 Preview a job before customisation |
6 Step by step process |
 Before
you start the process of customising the job description for your
company, you can preview your selected job description to make sure
it's the one that best matches your needs. |
 From
now on, customising your job description is a simple process of clicking
on the "Next" button to step through each section of the
Job Description. |
7 Choose relevant competencies |
8 Define your own competencies |
|  In
this section, you determine which competencies will be required
for the job. See "What topics are covered?"
above for details on competenties.
At Harris Campbell, we call competencies "transferable skills".
These are the bits of life experience that a person brings with
them to any job they have. |
 Every
company and every job have unique competency requirements.
MAUS Job Descriptions allows you to add your own competencies.
You can also edit existing competency headings to use your company's
terminologies. |
9 Choose required qualifications |
10 Physical demands and work environment |
 In
this section you determine the reading, maths and reasoning skills
required, as well as any formal qualifications.
As with most aspects of MAUS Job Descriptions, you can customise
the program to include your own qualification requirements. |
 In
these sections you can very clearly state the physical conditions
that the job candidate will have to work under.
MAUS Job Descriptions generates job description text which is non-discriminatory,
thus reducing your exposure to employee litigation. |
11 Completed report |
12 Export your job description |
 Once
you have finished all of the sections, your customised job description
is generated.
Once you save it, this description can be used in the other parts
of the program, such as writing an ad or putting together relevant
interview questions. |
 You
can also export your saved job description to rich text format (RTF).
This will allow you to edit your job description in your favourite
word processing program (like Microsoft Word) for more complex formatting. |

14 Help with the interview process |
 There
