In the employment process, creating a proper Job Description (JD) for each role is crucial, yet we often overlook it. People frequently mention that they have never seen their JD when accepting their jobs, or they don't even care to know if they have one until they encounter issues with job promotions, transfers, or role conflicts. In reality, a JD connects the job requirements, the company's expectations, your expectations, performance, development, career path, and more.
