4.0 out of 5 stars A good tool for job descriptions, August 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Descriptions Now 4.0 (CD-ROM)

I was reasonably impressed with the software package. It has nearly 6000 job descriptions on file from which to choose. I am impressed by the diversity of the job decriptions available and how well they address the particular jobs that I am familiar with. The descriptions are general enough to fit most positions where they would be used, but can be modified as needed to taylor them. The software allows specifics like education, language, and mathematics requirements to be specified if needed and addresses the physical demands and work environments associated with each job. Overall, this is a reasonably concise package that provides a good platform for the creation of job descriptions.

1.0 out of 5 stars Save Your Money!, May 19, 2000

This software was very disappointing. The editing features are extremely limited and what templates? You could get the same or better results by "cut & paste" from job search websites to MS Word. I would not recommend this overpriced program.
