Practice prompts based on occupational tasks
These Applyace practice prompts use O*NET tasks for training and development specialists. They are not reported employer questions. If you have not done a task, explain your approach and learning needs instead of inventing experience.
1. Present information with a variety of instructional techniques or formats, such as role playing, simulations, team exercises, group discussions, videos, or lectures.
Describe a real example of this task. What was your responsibility, and what happened?
2. Obtain, organize, or develop training procedure manuals, guides, or course materials, such as handouts or visual materials.
How did you decide which approach or tools to use? Explain the tradeoffs.
3. Evaluate modes of training delivery, such as in-person or virtual, to optimize training effectiveness, training costs, or environmental impacts.
What could go wrong during this task? Describe how you would check your work.
4. Offer specific training programs to help workers maintain or improve job skills.
