1.0 out of 5 stars Not What I Expected, February 21, 2006

By	Jake Riley (Canton, OH) - See all my reviews

Plachy's original book, "Results-Oriented Job Descriptions: More Than 225 Models to Use or Adapt-With Guidelines for Creating Your Own," received wonderful reviews and a 5-star rating. I made the assumption that since it is no longer in print, "More Results-Oriented Job Descriptions:..." was a reissue of the original book with additional material. I was wrong. Common job descriptions were included in the first book; those included in this work are additional and not what I needed to develop descriptions for employees in my company. For example, I need a complete description for our company financial controller. It was in the first volume. I wish that would have been explained in the editorial material for the book. I am unable to use this book and feel that I wasted money purchasing it.
