Explore interests and find the best 20 matches from jobs in the Occupational Outlook Handbook--in just 15 to 20 minutes!

Wouldn’t it be great if a simple interest inventory could point directly at the best career information? 
We thought so much of the idea that we produced a new CD-ROM that combines the power of two excellent career information resources--the Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH) and the Guide for Occupational Exploration. In about 15 to 20 minutes, users can indicate their interests and get a list of the best 20 occupational matches. Then they can access these occupations in the OOH and read about:

Nature of work 
Working conditions 
Training, other qualifications, and advancement 
Employment 
Earnings 
Job outlook 
Related occupations 
Sources of additional information 

How CareerExplorerTM Works
About 250 occupations are divided into 11 groups, and the software goes through the same sequence of questions and choices for each group. As each group comes up, this question is asked: "In your work, would you like to do the any of the following?" Users scan 4 to 6 job duties; a "no" answer sends them to the next section where the question is repeated with different job duties; a "yes" answer moves users to more in-depth "yes or no" questions and finally to rank potential jobs on a scale of 0 to 4.

Responses Can Be Saved at Any Time.  At any time as users go through the 11 sections, they can save their responses and come back later to finish the sections or to modify previous responses. 

Displays List of 20 Best Matches
When all 11 sections are complete, CareerExplorerTM displays a list of the best 20 job matches. When users select any of these 20 occupations, they see a full-color photo of a person working in that occupation plus the thorough narrative description from the OOH. The narrative is divided into 8 pieces, each accessible by pushing a button: nature of work, working conditions, employment, training, job outlook, earnings, related occupations, and  sources of additional information.

Print Options
A four-page printed report can be printed for any occupation, and the list of 20 best matches can also be printed--allows student users to take
information home to show parents.
