Answer: FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The human resource department can distribute standardized job analysis questionnaires to geographically disbursed employees via their company intranets, with instructions to complete the forms and return them by a particular date.

Many employers turn to the Internet for assistance with writing job descriptions. ONet, the U.S. Department of Labor's occupational information network, is an increasingly popular Web tool. It allows users (not just managers, but workers and job seekers) to see the most important characteristics of various occupations, as well as the experience, education, and knowledge required to do each job well. Jobdescription.com is another popular site used for developing job descriptions.
