Ideal Job Posts
Ideal Job Posts
A manager of mine once encouraged me to write up what my ideal job would look like. At the time I was spending a lot of time learning about resilience engineering and working as a discover engineer. Writing up the document (Ideal Job Posting) really helped solidify what I wanted from my career.
How to write an ideal job post
- Start by writing down what the name of you "ideal job" is. Naming things helps us define them! Don't worry, you can always change this
- Next write down a description of what this job does and why it exists.
- Write down a bit about what this role thinks about. What things are important parts of the job?
- Add a couple of the "artifacts" this role will produce. What tangible things (code, documentation, team productivity, etc) come about as a result of this role working properly?
- Write down what this role would be doing on any given day.
- Finally, write down a few of the outcomes of this role being created. How will the company/team be improved because this role exists?
