Wanda is helping a new manager define the elements of a new job he wants to create in his department. She explains that he needs to consider the difference between the job's description and its specifications , which is: Job descriptions look at a job's activities, and job specifications look at the qualities needed to do the job Job specifications list observable actions, job descriptions describe general qualities. she is incorrect; there is no practical difference Job specifications look at a job's activities, and job descriptions look at the qualities needed to do the job. Job specifications define tasks, and job descriptions define responsibilities
