One of 12 in the secretarial/clerical area, this booklet for the vocational instructor contains a job description for the general office typist, a task list of areas of competency, an occupational tasks competency record (suggested as replacement for the traditional report card), a list of industry representatives and educators involved in developing the project, and statements of competencies and a separate competency record for the area of human relations and personal development. Job duties listed for the general office/typist occupation include typing, maintaining the filing system, greeting visitors, handling telephone calls and mail, operating office equipment, and keeping a record of office supplies. Areas of competency in human relations and personal development are included (communication, self-development, personal appearance, office attitude, social and business etiquette, and job-seeking skills). Statements of competencies may be graded at either the secondary or postsecondary level, and the competency records are intended to follow the student through vocational training at both levels. Tasks in the task list are cross referenced with those in the booklets for other secretarial/clerical jobs. (MF)
