ONET - Job Titles

What job titles would be good choices for me based on my Career DNA?

HOW TO USE ONET:

1.

GO TO http://www.onetonline.org/find/

2. Type any job title in the OCCUPATION QUICK SEARCH box in the upper right hand corner of the screen. For example I typed in “nurse.”

3. A list of related occupations will come up. Pick the job title you want. I chose “registered nurse.”

4. The registered nurse page pops up. Now look for the “interests” link on the page. It is in blue.

Tasks | Tools & Technology | Knowledge | Skills | Abilities | Work Activities | Work Context | Job Zone | Education | Credentials | Interests | Work Styles | Work Values | Related Occupations | Wages & Employment | Job Openings | Additional Information

The interest code for nurse is Interest code: SIC (helping people, good with details, lots of paper work)

6. Go back and check some of the other related job titles

a. Nurse Practitioner – SIR (Helping people, good with details, lots of hands on picking up and moving)

b. Nursing Assistants – SCR (Helping people, good with paper work, lots of hands on picking up and moving)

c. Medical and Health Services Managers ECS (Decision making, paperwork, helps people)

This is a wonderful activity to do with your students. The students will like to match their Career DNA to job titles. They will see that there are many different jobs in one field.

ONET also has its own interest assessment and the ability to search for occupations using the three highest interest areas. http://www.onetonline.org/
