And, a-ha!
There were some great ideas and questions in the responses I've read so far. For example, a question asking about short job descriptions for the different job levels in a specific career field.
I'll admit that I am not an expert in classification analysis, but I do know where the experts work and, better yet, where they keep their work.
*hahahaha*
The Online Job Description Library is a great resource for you to surf the whole gammut of job descriptions at UC San Diego. By accessing this Library, you can screen job descriptions based on:
* title code
* working title
* incumbent name
* supervisor name
* department name
* Vice Chancellor unit
So, to answer the question:
How do I get short job descriptions for the different job levels in a specific career field?
One answer:
1) Log in to the Online Job Description Library
2) Find out the title codes of the career field series using the Title & Pay Plan
3) Input a title code into the Online Job Description Library
a. to narrow the search, input data into the other optional fields
4) Click "Retrieve Selections" to bring up a list of job descriptions that meet the search criteria
5) Repeat step 3 and 4 using other title codes in the career field series
Variation:
Instead of using title codes, you can use working titles. For example, if you have an interest in human resources, key words like "personnel" or "human resources" would be useful. If you have an interest in financial administration, key words like "fiscal" or "financial" are options. Likewise, "student", "advisor", or "academic" could bring up relevant hits.

Motivated Skills? Holland Typography?
Sheila Manalo, Jill Hartmann, Tehseen Lazzouni, Michelle Viernes, Laurie Tanjuaquio, Josie Alaoen, and Ricardo Escalante try their hand at this card sort. It was another exercise for the participants to figure out how to leverage their strengths and apply skills that they are passionate about using.
Up close and personal, Mark Plummer, Brian Pierini, Scott Paulson, Jane Peterson, and Pat Tung see how the cards stack up in terms of their interests and abilities. As the managers of their own careers, knowing what they enjoy doing and how well they do what they enjoy is a key step in forging their career paths.
Likewise, others work through the deck. Conceptually, the "Motivated Skills Card Sort" could be evaluated in light of John L. Holland's Typography Theory.D
Assessing Your Transferrable Skills with Claire Solario
The agenda for the session included:
* Understanding the three types of skills
* How those skills fall into four subcategories
* How these skills fit into the big picture of getting the right job for you
To get down to that nitty gritty, UExplore participants made use of the "Motivated Skills Card Sort." With a deck of cards in hand, the participants were asked to look at each skill and put them in order of how much they liked/disliked using the skill and how proficient they were with that skill.
The "Motivated Skills Card Sort" was an exercise that allowed participants to determine if those skills were "motivated skills", "survival skills", "areas for development", or "red flag areas".
In "the big picture", the right job would align with your motivated skills and with your values.
