Occupational Questionnaire


Agencies use different terms to describe an occupational questionnaire. You may see the terms assessment, questionnaire, test or exam. Generally, if an agency is using this method to learn more about your education and experience, you will be expected to answer specific questions related to the position to be filled. Often, the questionnaire will be administered online during the application process. You may be asked to rank your abilities on a scale of 0-5 or to write narrative descriptions of your abilities. You could be asked to take a written test. In general, agencies will score your responses and assign you a rating between 0 and 100. The agency may have you complete other assessments in addition to the occupational questionnaire. Be sure to read the vacancy announcement carefully to see which method, or methods, the agency is using.
