Job Research Example
Remember Carla? She successfully made it from housekeeper to nurse at Sunny Lake Hospital.
Carla learned a lot about what it was like to be a nurse from reading job descriptions and doing online research.
The most powerful research Carla did was talking to nurses about their work and observing them as they performed their jobs.
When Carla was a housekeeper, she worked in the operating room. This allowed her to see patients being cared for. She also started to build relationships with the nurses and asked them questions about their job.
Carla didn’t realize it, but she was informational interviewing and job shadowing.
