• You will be presented with a list of 60 work-related activities.
• For each, you indicate how much you would LIKE or DISLIKE to perform that task.
• Answer based upon what you would LIKE, not what you currently have the SKILL / EDUCATION to perform. • For example, I would LIKE to
sign, but have no singing skill / talent. I would answer “LIKE” for singing.
• After you have answered all of the questions, you will see the screen to the right. If you are ready to move on, click NEXT.
• The next screen presents a brief summary of your results: where you interests are across SIX dimensions
• The various links on the page will provide more information about each of the dimensions.
• You will need to provide these results to me in one of two ways
• (1) If you click PRINT, it will take you to another screen that provides your full results (shown on next page)
• Hey! There are your full results.
• This is part of what you need to submit for the assignment.
• If you click PRINT on this screen, some computers will give you the option to save the printed output as a PDF file. You can do that and submit that PDF file.
• You could also use your browser’s SAVE THIS PAGE AS function to save it as a file you can attach.
IF this is confusing to you, there is a second way to get the full results to me.
• (2) If you click on SHARE, it will reveal the drop down list of several options.
• For the course, you would need to select COPY LINK and submit the link in the Assignment in Blackboard.

• As described in the text, O*NET provides the results of a hybrid job analysis for, essentially, every job in the United States.
• Those jobs have been categorized in a variety ways, including by JOB ZONES. These are described on the website.
• For your assignment, you will need to do SELECT TWO different Job Zones (can only do one at a time).
• Select one of the Job Zones, and click NEXT
• The screen will display a series of occupations that match your CAREER INTERESTS and in the JOB ZONE you selected.
• Look at the list, and CLICK on one that you are interested in learning more about.
• The screen will now display a summary with information about this occupation. That’s great, but we are college students we need details!
• CLICK on the “see more details at O*NET OnLine” link at the bottom of the page
• The screen will now display the job analysis information for the occupation on the O*NET OnLine site. This is the page that you will use to answer a variety of questions concerning the occupation.
• Occupation code: see the red circle to the right… that’s the occupation code for this specific occupation. You will need that number, and you can use it to find the occupation directly on the O*NET OnLine site.
• That’s ONE occupation. Now you will need to fine a SECOND occupation (different Job Zone, so you will need to return to the Job Zone selection screen).
