Creating On-Target High Tech Job Descriptions

In December, I presented a webcast called “Creating On-Target High Tech Job Descriptions for High Tech Workers”. I could have titled it “11 Questions for Analyzing a Job” The PDF is here. Remember, it’s a presentation, not an article. So if you’re confused, please ask me questions.
