  1. Employment. The condition of having paid work.
  2. Occupational preference. Preferences for work environments and outcomes in occupations.
    • Realistic occupation. An occupation that frequently involves work activities that include practical, hands-on problems and solutions. They often deal with plants, animals, and real-world materials like wood, tools, and machinery. Many of the occupations require working outside, and do not involve a lot of paperwork or working closely with others.
    • Investigative occupation. An occupation that frequently involves working with ideas and requires an extensive amount of thinking. These occupations can involve searching for facts and figuring out problems mentally.
    • Artistic occupation. An occupation that frequently involves working with forms, designs and patterns. They often require self-expression and the work can be done without following a clear set of rules.
    • Social occupation. An occupation that frequently involves working with, communicating with, and teaching people. These occupations often involve helping or providing service to others.
    • Enterprising occupation. An occupation that frequently involves starting up and carrying out projects. These occupations can involve leading people and making many decisions. Sometimes they require risk taking and often deal with business.
    • Conventional occupation. An occupation that frequently involves following set procedures and routines. These occupations can include working with data and details more than with ideas. Usually there is a clear line of authority to follow.
  3. Work structure. A set of structural job characteristics with which the worker interacts.
  4. Recruiting.
    • KSA (or knowledge, skills, and abilities). A series of narrative statements that are particularly required when applying to United States Federal government job openings. KSAs are used to determine, along with résumés, who the best applicants are when several candidates qualify for a job.
