1. Using the O*Net, find the occupational profile for a university professor teaching psychology. (Hint: It should be under the job family of education, training, and library, and reads as psychology teachers, postsecondary.)
2. With the information provided by the O*Net, you’ll see that the demand is projected to exceed the supply in the near future. There will have to be more people willing to pursue a PhD in psychology in order to meet this need.
3. Using information provided by the job profile, create an advertising brochure. (Using Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or Publisher would be the best, but remember that your instructor will have to be able to open the file, so Publisher would only be a good choice if you saved the file in another format.) Your advertising brochure should sell the job to the public, convincing others (using the facts provided in the job profile) of the desirability of the job.
4. You should have a total of at least 500 words in your advertising brochure, and it may take the format of a handout, an informational sheet, or a traditional brochure as long as these criteria are met.
