B) Ashton should take care to avoid including the titles of the jobs while formulating new job descriptions.

C) Ashton should wait until the new employees are hired before creating the new job descriptions.

D) Ashton should consider preparing new job descriptions since new jobs will be created in the organization.

E) Ashton should reuse the old job descriptions for the new jobs, instead of creating new ones.

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "D": Ashton should consider preparing new job descriptions since new jobs will be created in the organization.

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever a firm engages in new operations and requires new personnel, the Human Resources (HR) department must analyze the profile of the employee that will be needed to determine what type of applicant that will approve. Before that, a clear description of the new workers' duties and skills must be outlined so that at the moment of publishing the offering, the company makes sure they will attract the proper candidates.

Thus, Ashton must get ready the job descriptions of the new workers that will cover the positions fo the new flexible fuel division of the corporation he works for.
