How did you choose all these job categories?
It's been a two-step process -
First, we looked at government and other published listings of "official" job categories, but many students did not know what jobs they included. So we decided to just ask the students what types of job or career categories they were interested in.
Second, some jobs didn't quite fit into any of our initial job categories, especially the intermediate areas, so we had to rename or move some of the headings when we came across "new" job titles. Also, some jobs fit under different categories, so you will find it under more than one heading.
Like which ones?
"Event Coordinator" we listed under "Entertainment/Sports"; "Athletic Trainer" we listed under both "Education/Athletics" and "Healthcare/Fitness"
Sometimes it takes a while to download the contents of the web site. Why?
Over a dial-up connection, the audio portion of the interview takes a long time to download. We have condensed the audio file to reduce the download time.
May we speak to a jobholder/interviewee?
No.
Can I make a request for a particular career job?
Yes. However, please understand that it might take a while to find a person with that particular job and get their interview posted on the web site.
Do you set up interviews for internships and/or jobs?
No. Our goal is to provide you with a jobholder’s personal views on his/her work. If the interview interests you, we hope that you will exert the effort to learn more about that certain job. Career sites would be a good place to start.
May I submit an interview to be posted on the web site?
Yes. Please contact us and we will provide you with instructions on how to do so.
