Dear Seniors,

I am eagerly awaiting your response.

Thank you,

Job Description
A job description is a written statement listing the elements of a particular job or occupation, such as duties to be done, qualifications required, equipment used, and reporting structure.

Job Specification
Job specification outlines the minimum KSAs (Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities) required to perform the job effectively.

Job profile can be defined as a combination of Role and Function (e.g., Head of Department - Marketing, Head of Department - Software). Here, the Role is Head of Department, and the function is marketing. A job profile briefly classifies the role in the organization, which includes role, function, band, grade, salary band, designation, qualification, job description, position required, and the person to whom they report.

May be this may help you.
