An Analysis of the Terminal Clerking Occupation.
Abell, George H.; And Others
The general purpose of the occupational analysis is to provide workable, basic information dealing with the many and varied duties performed in the terminal clerk occupation. The document opens with a brief introduction followed by a job description. The bulk of the document is presented in table form. Eight duties are broken down into a number of tasks and for each task a two-page table is presented, showing on the first page: tools, equipment, materials, objects acted upon; performance knowledge (related also to decisions, cues and errors); safety--hazard; and on the second page: science; math--number systems; and communications (performance modes, examples, and skills and concepts). The duties include: applying rates; preparing freight bill; tracing freight; handling overages and shortages to incoming freight, damage, and collections and accounts receivable; storing and retrieving shipment information; and taking all incoming phone calls. A glossary of freight terminal terms is appended. (BP)
