A job description is explaining the type of job that the company is offering but person specification is what the person specification is what type of person they want to hire :-) hope this helps

If it's anything like today's horrendous AQA AS-Level exam then you're ****ed.


People actually struggle with AQA Business Studies?

Yes, by saying that you clearly haven't taken the new spec exams.

Know exactly what you mean - have you seen the 2015 past paper where they gave you an option for Person description but that wasn't an answer because it's person specification.

Things like that all the way through
Hahaha that question actually just came up again today
