Q4 Finding a Job: Job Titles
Searching for a Job Title
Before finding a job, you must know which job titles to search for, since the same or similar job duties may be listed under various 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 community problems.
A person who helps people stay healthy and feel better when sick or hurt.
Reflection
Reflect on the three careers from Quest Two 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 rather than the career/job titles.
- You may also browse through this list of O*NET Online - See All Occupations.
Add the alternate related job titles that you found to the Quest Four 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.
