Q4 Finding a Job: Job Titles
Before you can find a job, you will need to know which job titles to search for since the same or similar job duties may be listed under a variety of different job titles.
As an example, if you are looking for a job as an agricultural inspector you may also want to look under the following job titles:
- Brand Inspector
- Consumer Safety Inspector
- Food Inspector
- Food Safety Inspector
- Food Sanitarian
- Grain Inspector
- Seed and Fertilizer Inspector
- Shipping and Point Inspector
Put on your creative thinking caps to come up with at least three different job titles for the jobs described below. Discuss your job titles with another classmate.
Someone who helps keep people safe, enforces the law, and helps solve problems in the community.
A person who helps people stay healthy and feel better when they are sick or hurt.
Reflect back on the three careers from Quest 2 that were selected as your top three. Research related job titles based on the job duties.
- You may spend some time searching the internet based on the job duties and not the career/job titles.
- You may also browse through this list of All Occupations on the O*NET online website.
Add the alternate related job titles that you found to the Quest 4 page of your Career Prep portfolio. You can add them by typing the text or adding a screenshot from the O*NET pages where you found the related job titles. The screencast below will show you how to add the information to your portfolio.
