• Get Help. Nearly every screen has a button called HELP. Click it or hold down the ALT key then press the H key (ALT + H) to pop up an extensive help file. The help file itself has many buttons that will likely address your particular needs for retrieving occupational information.
• Visually impaired users should hold down the CTRL key and press the F1 key (CTRL+F1) for special instructions on how to use the keyboard to control the program. The software has been carefully designed to work very well with text to speech software. Keyboard navigation is very easy for the "mouse-challenged", too. Contact SkillTRAN for special assistive files with the JAWS program.
• Use the help file as a tutorial. There are many different suggestions that will show you how to use the product for your typical career guidance and vocational exploration needs.
• Use the Windows Shortcut keys. If you see a button with a single character underlined, hold the ALT key down, then press the key with that underlined letter. It works just as if you had used the mouse to click that button.
  For the most part, you should be able to drive Job Browser Pro without using the mouse at all. This feature was added to accommodate users with visual impairments, but it works just great as a tool for everyone!
• Print a Detailed Job Specialty Window. Close the detail window (such as the Aptitudes window). Click Print Report. Choose the details you want to print. Then click Print Reports, Print.
• Let your clients use Job Browser, too. They can learn about the occupations you suggest based on your assessment of their skills, interests, and abilities.
• Self-Directed Career Exploration. Make up a form consisting of multiple columns. Jot down a list of only DOT codes for clients to look up. Have the client write in each title on the form and rate their level of interest in each occupation. This way, you will know that they looked up each title and evaluated it for a fit for themselves.

• O*NET Career Exploration Tools - Version 3.0 are distributed on the CD as a courtesy to customers. This public domain software was developed by the U.S. Department of Labor. Two tools are included, the Computerized Interest Profiler and the Work Importance Profiler. The Interest Profiler generates reports listing O*NETSOC codes. You (and your clients) can use the results of the Interest Profiler to drill deeper into the related DOT occupations and associated national labor market information. In Job Browser Pro, click the Advanced button, then click the SOC 2000 / O*NET button.
  
  To install these optional tools from Job Browser Pro, click any Help button, click the Index button on the help screen, enter the letter "O", then click the O*NET Career Exploration Tools topic. Then click the button on the help topic labelled "Click here to install the O*NET Career Exploration Tools software". Icons for these programs will be put onto your desktop during the installation.

• On HP printers, Job Browser Pro will print reliably using the PostScript printer driver rather than the PCL driver. This is particularly important when using a networked printer rather than a shared printer.
