What’s a Job Aid? A job aid is any kind of reference tool or document – often simply a one-page guide to a process or task – that somebody can reference for help when they need it! A job aid is used to support your performance of something you need to do.

Examples are everywhere. A telephone book is a job aid. So are sticky notes, instruction sheets, “cheat sheets,” online help documents, etc.
