Practice prompts based on occupational tasks
These Applyace practice prompts use O*NET tasks for precision agriculture technicians. They are not reported employer questions. If you have not done a task, explain your approach and learning needs instead of inventing experience.
1. Document and maintain records of precision agriculture information.
Describe a real example of this task. What was your responsibility, and what happened?
2. Collect information about soil or field attributes, yield data, or field boundaries, using field data recorders and basic geographic information systems (GIS).
How did you decide which approach or tools to use? Explain the tradeoffs.
3. Use geospatial technology to develop soil sampling grids or identify sampling sites for testing characteristics such as nitrogen, phosphorus, or potassium content, pH, or micronutrients.
What could go wrong during this task? Describe how you would check your work.
4. Divide agricultural fields into georeferenced zones, based on soil characteristics and production potentials.
Explain a time you coordinated this work with someone else. How did you communicate?
5. Install, calibrate, or maintain sensors, mechanical controls, GPS-based vehicle guidance systems, or computer settings.
How would you handle an unfamiliar part of this task? Identify what you would need to learn.
6. Create, layer, and analyze maps showing precision agricultural data, such as crop yields, soil characteristics, input applications, terrain, drainage patterns, or field management history.
