and About.com:
human resources/job description also.
job creation:
... a term used in various definitions
of economic development (example)
indicating that one objective for it its practitioners is
to produce job opportunities
where people who need them are located. In other words,
one way to explain
the economic
development process is to say that it is about
creating jobs. For more about creating job opportunities as
an economic development effort see job
retention next and the
.network best
practices file.
job retention:
... to secure a job where it currently
exists, especially, to do so as a part of the community
and economic development effort as recommended under
Priorities
for Places Seeking Economic Development. A combined
effort to find opportunities for creating
jobs and to
keep those that contribute to the vitality of a growing
community in place often requires a delicate balancing
act on the part of the conscientious economic
development practitioner.
job search ... to seek a job;
a job hunt. Salary.com has a job-search-related glossary.
job security:
... an expression which generally
means being free from the fear of job loss. Activities
surrounding job security can be double-edged
sword. For example, continuing education and
training to keep current with technological changes that
affect one's job can be a smart thing to do. On the other
hand, participating in a group effort to keep jobs in
place beyond the point where there is reason for them
to exist can create conflicting or contrasting
positions between employees and employers not
a good situation! There are two truths that job holders
must understand: (1) the voice
of the customer speaks
loudest in the long term;
and, (2) independence from the fear is better achieved
through a certain amount of free-agent attitude
and positioning rather than going along with the politics
of job welfare.
job welfare:
... application of supplemental
financial or other aid provided by a source outside of
an employer's control which sustains an employee's work
assignment or position; support provided to retain
a type of job within an enterprise for
which there is no longer a purpose. Retention
of a union fireman
in the cab of a diesel locomotive is a classic example
of an worker on job welfare. One course of opportunity
for those who face job
insecurity (see the meaning
of job security)
due to changes in the industry or field in which they
work is to pursue the entrepreneurial
spirit. See Appendix
E of the glossary you are using.
joint and several liability:
... a situation in which two or more
parties are liable for repayment of a debt or obligation
and a creditor can be compensated from
them either individually or jointly.
joint venture:
... an undertaking involving risk in
which two are more parties agree to face the potential
uncertainty of shared loss in the hope of
shared profit.
judgment lien:
... a purely statutory general lien (the
legal right to keep or sell someone else's property as
a security for a debt) on real and
personal property belonging to a debtor.
judicial foreclosure:
... a means by which a mortgagee's (borrower's)
right to redeem is taken away through a court-supervised
sale of real property.
junk mail:
... postal material delivered but disposed
of as trash by the recipient; worthless solicitations and
marketing refuse handled in a postal system; a mass mailing
that only financially benefits the go-between, such as
an advertising agency, because it produces no significant
return for its
sender, the advertiser, and is trashed by recipients; bulk
mail that wastes resources. Junk
e-mail is defined
in essentially the same
ways, except
it includes spam and
other electronic distributions by cyberthugs.
Junk emails are a serious problem for Internet
users.
jurat:
... a clause written at the bottom of
an affidavit by a notary public stating when, where and
before whom the affidavit was sworn.
jurisdiction:
... the range of legal authority or power
to act to enforce or pronounce judgments in a given area;
an area defined by the authority
granted to an individual or group with power to judge and/or enforce.
just-in-time:
... delivery of a product or service
at precisely the moment when its needed or wanted; a commercial
strategy for protecting the investment
in inventories, operating costs, or anything else that can deteriorate
in value, quality, or maximum ROI in
it when not in use or in the hands of a customer; a enterprising strategy
based on the time
value of money invested in a product or service for as short
a period of time as possible before moving it into the hands of a buyer
and receiving payment.
