A job description can be considered as a snapshot of a particular job. It should clearly convey the responsibilities of that particular job, the requirements for that job, particularly the skills needed and the qualifications needed. The experience needed by the employee is also clearly given in the job description. Writing a proper job description is necessary for the employers if they are hunting for the right professional to take up that job. The job description that you have written should clearly indicate your expectations so that you get the right candidate for that job.
In short a job description should contain the title of the position, the department, the person to whom the candidate reports to, the key responsibilities and the overall responsibility, the qualifications and the terms of employment. You should know whether that particular position can be filled up with a candidate with particular educational qualifications alone. If not the job description should be changed accordingly.
