		<description>I too have the same challenge.  I have been on this path for almost two years.   I have rewritten my job description numerous times and my HR team is reluctant to reclassify.  I too have 10 years operational experience anad took a job cut grade.  It is very frustrating that we are paid less than our peers who have less experience and knowledge.  I too am looking for additional resources that document core copetencies, job requeirements, expectations, salary range etc.</description>

		<description>I am in the process of writing my own job description for the vendor manager role.  I am responsible for call center operations in two countries.  I relate to this article, especially the &quot;being paid less than peers&quot; part...I actually took a job grade cut to move into this position.  I am hopeful that I can clearly define my roles and responsibilities to influence a change in the grading of my position.  I have 10  years of operational experience and am a naturally effective communicator which has proved extremely beneficial in this position.  Do you have any additional resources that document core competencies, job requirements, expectations, etc...that would help me in the creation of the job description?  

Many thanks!</description>
