How sluttish was it to find the special(prenominal) line of credit you were looking for, and how countywide was the information provided about that occupation? I was immediately impressed by the O*NET Resource Center after opening the site. The design was smart and the site was easy to navigate despite the umpteen choices available to explore. This is a great example of what a Government agency working with the business participation and the actual workers from each occupation suffer accomplish.A wealth of useful information is presented to the public at no cost in an easy to use format. I was quickly able to locate information that was particular(prenominal) to my chosen occupation. My current job title is Special hurtles private instructor which is a hybrid description. My primary duties be to initiate the acquisition of production machinery a nd when needed, additional building space to install the equipment that is the Project Manager role. I as well as ideate and participate in projects related to safety, facilities focal point and production flows which justifies the Special Projects designation.I selected Project Manager in my search and was directed to the page for Architectural & Engineering Managers which gave a brief description of similar titles (Project Engineer, Project Engineering Manager), what these managers do, and what they would be expected to do on the job. The last item listed some on the job duties as to direct, review, or approve project design changes and to confer with management, production, or marketing lag to discuss project specifications or procedures basically , my assigned duties.Following the link to Advanced Manufacturing, I was able to rule examples of descriptive information about specific jobs. This page had a graphic of a sample flight Ladder/Lattice for Advanced Manufacturing wh ich was very similar to my actual career course of action. The job titles were a human activity different but did show a familiar progression from helper, to operator, to production supervisor, to engineering/production manager. This was my path to my current position but I made it here without a college degree, a feat that would be impossible in this company today.I maneuvered to the Engineering Manager page and found more job specific information. A good amount of detail was devoted to the Job Description and some mention of the necessary education, workforce preparation, work experience, licensure/certifications, salary and the employment outlook for the next 10 years. The information for this occupation was easy to read and comprehensive. As someone who is presently in this field I can say the duties and expectations presented are realistic.

The non-scientific results earned on the kindle Profiler test were also quite representative of me as a person and the specific area lots did indicate an affinity for my chosen field. My chosen occupation is Project Manager and this was among the professions listed.I continue to prepare for this occupation by at pitching college to complete my degree despite having worked at my company for 29 years. A Project Manager works alone while being involved with coordinating the work of many confused groups simultaneously. It can be a demanding profession and may not provide satisfaction to certain personalities. The skills minute on the O*Net are well defined and can be interpreted as needing one to be technically knowled geable, have good people skills, and to be adaptable to changes in the electron orbit of a project.Math skills are important in the product design and for producing the cost analyses and project justifications. I belatedly completed algebra and statistics which the job description notes as necessary. Character skills are described as needing attention to detail, integrity, adaptability, uninflected thinking, dependability and stress tolerance. I match up well in those areas and at times tend to overdo the attention to detail. Problem solving skills are used to notice a problem and elaborate out the best way to solve it. This is a difficult skill to master and sometimes the analytical solution is not the best choice as a solution.Finally, there are project management software tools available and learning to use them benefits the project and the teams involved in the work progression.
