We would accept a description of your present job, or one that you had been engaged in recently, or both.

> The collection of descriptions is divided into twelve generalized categories. They are: Administrative and Office Careers; Business/Entrepreneurial Careers; Computer Specialists; Customer Service; Education Careers; Financial Careers; Government Careers; Human Services; Law Enforcement and Legal Careers; Media, Marketing, and Public Relations; Medical Careers; Vocational Jobs.
