Writing a position description can lead to a promotion.
Promotions can mean higher pay, more respect from your co-workers, more time off and other perks. Sometimes in order to get a promotion, a different position will have to be created. First, you'll write the position description of the job you would like, then you'll write a letter explaining to the supervisor of the position why you deserve the promotion, highlighting your accomplishments and professional behavior in your current position.
Instructions
1. Start by giving the position description a title. The position title should denote what kind of position it is and the responsibilities. The date of the letter needs to be noted on the top of the page.
2. Write an executive summary for your first paragraph. It should be a short description of the position's basic responsibilities and how it will affect the company.
3. For the next paragraph, explain the position's background. Why did you create it? Write these points down to ease into the broader explanation of the duties and responsibilities of the position you have created.
4. Begin another paragraph explaining the challenges and/or setbacks this position may face. This will help the supervisor determine whether the position will be worth the risk.
5. Write your next paragraph about the qualifications a person should have to be productive in this position.
6. Conclude your position description with the rest of the relevant information for the position, such as compensation, application deadlines and interview deadlines.
