Indicate the occupation or type of work that you perform (or performed if unemployed)<br /><br />It's very important that the answer to this question be requested with the greatest detail, since general answers don't provide the required information.<br /><br />For the occupation, trade, or type of work a complete description is needed. This is especially important when talking about little known activities, for which it is nonetheless necessary to add details that specify them.<br /><br />In a figurative sense this is: "What do you do in your job?"<br /><br />The examples that are on the questionnaire and these others will help you achieve greater precision in the response: insurance agent, crane operator, car washer, journalist, upholsterer, stenographer, mail carrier, mechanical engineer, mine technician, veterinarian, fashion designer, waiter, geologist, galvanizer, stucco worker, dent remover for metal bodywork, civil construction worker, surveyor, attorney, fisherman, pediatrician, dietician, hairdresser, elementary school teacher, television reporter, etc.<br /><br />If the person has more than one occupation, write down the occupation to which the person devotes the majority of their time.<br /><br />If the person has two or more occupations to which they devote an equal number of hours, write down the occupation that the person considers to be the principal one.<br /><br />[The above directions refer to a picture of question 12 in this section of the enumeration form.]<br /></svar>
