Executive Summary
Going over both the job description it was found that both the companies have made a good job description. It would be not correct to outright
qualify one of the ads as poor. Yet, I have tried to make some analysis below. I hope my analysis is not biased. It has been done under the light of
pure honesty. The job description analysis has made me realize the importance of ads that play an important role in human resource
management.

Strengths Weaknesses Strengths Weaknesses
1. Company
Branding
Latrobe Regional
Gallery is well known
name in the city of
Latrobe in Australia. As
the name of the city is
attached to the brand
the recognition
becomes much more
relevant.
Though this is known
to people, a good
introduction to the
company is not
provided in the job
description
A brief introduction to
the company has been
provided which shows
that company did not
just assume their fame
amongst the
candidates which is
quite appreciating
As compared to
Latrobe Regional
Gallery, people are less
aware of the brand.
With the job
description the brand is
made known to
candidates. Yet a
website link just below
the description could
have worked well
(Wrzesniewski et al
2011).
Latrobe Regional
Gallery has better
credibility in the
market

2. Evidence of
matching people
to organisation
The job description
provided by Latrobe
Regional University is
direct and to the point.
It is not intimately
summoning the people
to apply for the job and
lacks ethical side to it.
It tries to welcome the
people and has a
complete job
description.
There are no details to
responsibility.
Overall the job
description of GNT
Fine Wines is more
appealing.

3. Job description
included
The job description of
Latrobe Regional Galley
highlights the
qualification that is
required and also
makes it clear that an
enthusiastic and
energetic person is
required for the job
role. The description
The weakness of the
job description is that
there is no proper sub
division made which
prevents easy reading
and clarity of points
(Mann 2011).
There are proper
divisions made in the
job description that
will be easy to read
and the points will be
better recorded in the
minds of readers. It is
very important to
avoid a clumsy reading
of job description
Weakness is that the
job description is very
short and the
requirements have not
been very well
described. More
importantly it does talk
about the experience
that is required to
apply for the job (Wu
Both companies
have prepared a
good description yet
GNT Fine Wines
have better job

4. Relevance of
experience and
qualifications
The job description
clearly mentions the
kind of experience that
will be preferred
It does not really talk
about the number of
years that is required.
It does not highlight
anything about fresher.
This is required in a
good job description
(Srivastava &
Bhatnagar 2010).
The qualification and
experience that are
required are relevant
to the job role.
Here too there is not
much detail provided
about the number of
years that the
candidate must have
served in the
organisation.

required by both the
companies are

5. Relevance of
Selection criteria
The main criteria of
selection is a degree in
fine arts or museum
studies. These two
degrees will help in
better management of
the ob.
There is no weakness
found in this but the
degrees apart from fine
arts and museum
studies are not
specified which makes
the selection criteria a
bit blurred.
Requirement is that of
graphic designer and
for that creativity is
demanded which has
been explained in the
job description
relevantly.
The application
questions are too
simple and do not get
in detail (Davids et al
2011).

ANALYSIS
Write your 200 word analysis in this section.
After a careful observation it was found that GNT Fine Wines have better structure and they have also mentioned Perks in
the job description which is missing from the jib description of Latrobe Regional Gallery which is looking for a Gallery
Assistant. Perks are important to be mentioned in the job description. Though GNT Fine Wines have not mentioned the
benefits in technically clear and correct way, they do mention that the employee are going to enjoy working with the
company. This is a positive sign and makes the candidate build a goodwill in favour of the company. So I , personally,
would give higher marks to GNT Fine Wines.
Both the job description have some of the points missing But a major point that is missing from the job description of
Latrobe Regional Gallery is readability. Ease of reading the job description is important. Latrobe Regional Gallery goes on
to give the details in the link at the bottom of the ad. Though it is important to direct the candidate to the website, it is
equally important to have a complete job information on the introductory part as well. So above is the conclusion that I
have come to. I hope it is satisfactory and just.
