Questions:

1. Is there a scope for improvement? Compare the job description with the generic job descriptions posted under the National Occupational Classification (NOC). Also, compare some local store manager positions. What are the key differences? What is good about the job description posted by Dollarama. What are the areas they can improve on?

2. Now think about how job analysis (JA) can be used to develop a more accurate job description and specification. Create a job analysis strategy for Dollarama. Please note you should suggest a JA strategy and NOT create revised job descriptions. A typical JA strategy should be a step-by-step plan suggesting the company a robust and legally defensible method of creating job descriptions and specifications.
