This guide leads users through a structured search of the Michigan Occupational Information System (MOIS). It is intended to help the user prepare a profile of interests and preferences that will be used in career exploration. The booklet asks the user to make choices in seven categories and to enter the responses on the MOIS Search Worksheet. The seven categories are interests, areas of work, physical strengths, physical capabilities, working conditions, education, and temperaments. Following the search, the guide directs the reader to occupations to explore through a search of the MOIS data files. (KC)
