Accessing Non-Occupational Information

[poweigel]

Thanks again for the help with the previous issue. I'm working in React and was able to adapt the demo code to work in my react app. The challenge I have now is accessing more info from the database. First of all, it's not immediately clear to me how I can grab the full dataset of occupations.

The second challenge is figuring out how to grab the data for each occupation. For example, one thing I'm interested in is the RIASEC interest profile for each occupation. It's not clear to me how to access that information from the database since I don't know how it's organized. Any tips would be a huge help, thanks!

For specific questions on the database organization and info, you'll have to contact O*NET Customer Service directly, but here are some general tips:

• For most tasks, try to find a page at O*NET OnLine or My Next Move that does what you want. Most features there are available through OnLine Services or My Next Move Services, and the documentation is organized to match the sites. For example, OnLine has a list of all occupations in Browse by Job Family, and the Interests Detail reports have full RIASEC information. The O*NET Resource Center also has some starting points for exploring those sites and learning what's possible.
• If you need underlying information in a way those sites don't provide, check the database documentation at the O*NET Resource Center - see the links at the bottom of that page. Each file can be downloaded or accessed through Database Services. For background on the overall organization of O*NET data, also see the Taxonomy and Content Model pages.

Hope this helps!
