O*NET Job Analysis and Vocational Evaluation for the 21st Century

Abstract

Functional Job Analysis will continue to be the preferred method for accurate, reliable, and legally defensible determination of job duties. With the implementation of the Occupational Information Network (O*NET), job-related functions to be evaluated will expand and the potential applications and problems, both practical and research, will increase. The O*NET system is described, as are potential uses and shortcomings of O*NET, as well as the importance of O*NET to job analysis and vocational evaluation.

Towards Transparent, Reusable, and Customizable Data Science in Computational Notebooks

“…Note that the case studies involved Megagon Labs's proprietary knowledge graph in HR domain and datasets, e.g., a job description corpus. Therefore, for the screenshots in the paper, we used knowledge graphs constructed from an open-source resource called O*NET [24]. However, the information conveyed in the screenshots reflects the original work setting and experience of the participants.…”
