Hi Guys, I need your expert advise on this.

1> My current employer will not provide me with my job duties and responsibilities. They are ready to provide a general letter which states my name, designation, duration of employment, full time, salary. The basic stuff

2>Also I have an email from the HR department confirming to me that they can not provide me the job duties.

3>One of my colleagues is ready to write an email to me about my job responsibilities. He will send this email from his offical email id to my offical email id.


Now can I include
--------------------
a covering letter + letter from employer mentioned in point number 1> + a print out of the email from the HR department confirming that they can not provide job duties in point number 2> + a print out of the email from my colleague confirming some of my job duties in point number 3>

Do you think this will work? Also i do not want my colleague to fall in trouble as he is providing me an email with my job duties, and not the HR. So I am a bit concerned about that

Guys let me know whats the best possible solution
 
Best solution is to convince them to write the duties. i do not understand why they are not writing ?
 
Its ok. what you can do is have a letter describing your own JDs with other details i.e. job title, duration etc, attach HR's letter/email copy where they have advised its not their policy, also attach your colleague's email with his business card and explain the whole situation in a cover letter. you will be fine.

****Thanks haral******

My colleague does not have a business card. However the email that he will send me will have his number. Will this be fine? Also I do not want my colleague (xyz) to fall in trouble. Because the HR told me that its not in their policy to mention the duties on paper, and if my colleague mentions my duties on and email , he can fall into trouble. I dont want CIC calling the HR saying that xyz had sent an email to me(the applicant) and if this email is correct. xyz will fall into big trouble.

Any suggestions please
 
what you need is a reference letter from your colleague which can give a brief review of your job descriptions. the rest needs to be covered in your cover letter explaining that its not your company's policy to provide JD letters (HR's proof email copy attached), so you are sending a reference letter from your colleague which sheds some light on the kind of job duties you perform plus your own version of job descriptions that you have performed.

if your company is adamant on not providing JDs than this is chance you can take. I don't know if CIC will accept it but its the logical way.

Hi Buddy,

Please dont get stressed out!!

If you are not able to get letter from employer stating JD.
You can get the next thing, Put in roles/responsibilities and have your boss/supervisor email you stating it is not possible for the company to do it.
Put in the Job requirement/email when you applied for job.

Hopefully these would work for you
