Practice prompts based on occupational tasks
These Applyace practice prompts use O*NET tasks for lifeguards, ski patrol, and other recreational protective service workers. They are not reported employer questions. If you have not done a task, explain your approach and learning needs instead of inventing experience.
1. Patrol or monitor recreational areas, such as trails, slopes, or swimming areas, on foot, in vehicles, or from towers.

2. Rescue distressed persons, using rescue techniques and equipment.
How did you decide which approach or tools to use? Explain the tradeoffs.
