Practice prompts based on occupational tasks
These Applyace practice prompts use O*NET tasks for personal care aides. They are not reported employer questions. If you have not done a task, explain your approach and learning needs instead of inventing experience.

How did you decide which approach or tools to use? Explain the tradeoffs.
