Version 1.0.0 · O*NET Database 30.3

Job description template mapped to O*NET duties, skills, and work context

Separate public occupational structure from the choices only your organization can make. Use the blank CSV, inspect every field’s source, and replace the synthetic example before use.

  • 16 attributable fields
  • 4 versioned downloads
  • Employer-owned values

Editable template

Start with the role, then verify every line

The CSV gives each field an empty value column. Prompts and review labels stay beside the blank so your team can see what came from public occupational structure and what only the employer can decide.

Employer checklist

What this template cannot decide

Treat the document as a structured starting point. The employer remains responsible for the real work, the final requirements, and every jurisdiction-specific statement.

  1. 1

    This template is general information, not legal advice.

    Next: Ask qualified local counsel to review legal requirements.

  2. 2

    The template does not validate a role or replace an employer job analysis.

    Next: Confirm actual duties with current role stakeholders.

  3. 3

    It does not determine worker classification, exemptions, or compensation.

    Next: Use applicable local rules and current market evidence.

  4. 4

    Using the template does not promise a hiring or retention outcome.

    Next: Evaluate the document inside the employer hiring process.

  5. 5

    The example is synthetic and describes no real employer or person.

    Next: Replace every example value before operational use.
