Chapter 12: Occupational Outlook Handbook
Assignment
The purpose of this assignment is to identify skills, interests, and possible occupations that fit
with your personality and skill set.
There are two parts to the assignment. In the first part you will be compiling information about
two careers. In the second part you will compare and contrast the information you learned
(although you may need to do additional research).
How You Will Be Graded
Part I: Research (30 points)
Part II: Compare and Contrast Presentation (60 points)
Mechanics: 10 points
Part I: Research
Research two careers via the Occupational Outlook Handbook (
http://www.bls.gov/ooh
).
Complete the worksheet below for each occupation. They may be similar jobs or completely
different but should be
careers in which you are interested
.
Part II: Compare and Contrast Presentation
Using the information from the worksheets and the OOH website create a presentation using
Microsoft PowerPoint.
Directions
Slide #1
Title, occupations, and your name
Slides #2-6
Choose 5 topics from your research (ex. salary, education, skills, duties, etc.) that you
feel are most important.
Compare that topic from both jobs. You may need to refer to the OOH site for additional
information.
The slides should include
a title and a side-by-side comparison
of each topic for each
career. For example, you may want to compare the current salary, projected salary,
midrange salary, and salary from other areas of the country for career #1 and career #2.
Include the information from the worksheets but
DO NOT
copy and paste what you have
written for the worksheets. That is way too much information for a PowerPoint
presentation. When creating slides remember that
'less is more'
. Don't overload the
slide with content that becomes too small to read.
Add styles and images to make your presentation more visually appealing.
