Appendix B: Career Research Interview Questions

Adapted from Business Education A Curriculum Guide for the Secondary Level Accounting 10, 20, 30 (Saskatchewan Education 1992).

Interview someone who currently works in this occupation.

The assignment may be completed independently, in pairs, in small groups or by whichever method is chosen by the student(s) and teacher. The teacher should encourage students to use a variety of resources to gather information about the career that they are researching. The student may use letters, the Internet, phone or a personal interview to gather information.

After the students have discussed different career paths, students may prepare a short journal writing explaining why they are interested in the occupational area they are about to investigate.

Students may proceed to develop a list of questions to collect the information they require to help them understand more about the career cluster or occupation they have chosen.

The following list of questions may be included in the students' interview project.

1. What is your job title?

2. What are the normal duties on your job?

3. What are some of the things that you enjoy about your job?

4. Are there any things about your job that you dislike? What are those things?

5. Does your company have a dress code for employees? What is considered suitable?

6. How often is working overtime required in your job?

7. Do you have to work nights or weekends?

8. What aptitudes and abilities are needed to succeed in your occupation?

9. What are the post-secondary education and training requirements to enter and advance in your career?

10. Can you give an approximate starting salary for someone just starting out in your occupation? How much does the average person earn after five years? After ten years? What types of employee benefits, such as sick leave or dental plans, do workers in your career usually receive?

11. Do you think the demand for workers in your career will increase or decrease over the next five years? Why?

12. What changes have you seen over the past 5-10 years in this occupation?

13. What are the advantages and disadvantages of entering and being in your occupation?

14. Is there any advice you would give to a young person making career decisions?

After the interview session, students may summarize the information they received and draw a conclusion as to whether they would like to learn more about this occupation.

Students may brainstorm different ways to present their career research to the class. Presentation ideas may include:
