(According to the classifier)
For question 18, you need to collect the activity or occupation that the interviewee does in his/her job (whatever the form of holding the employment: state, self-employed, etc.) if in the reference week the person worked (01) or was employed but did not work (2).
You should leave the space that is designated for the codification blank (according to the Classifier).
The work or activity should be recorded in the most complete manner possible, indicating the specialty of the occupation.
In the case that the person declares that his/her principal occupation is Social Service, trainer, or Work that is Socially Useful, you should continue to ask about the job that he/she does in this work center.
Therefore, you should avoid writing generic terms such as:
You should avoid / You should write
Electrician / Wiring electrician, maintenance electrician, etc.
Operator / Construction operation, printing press operator, etc.
Mechanic / Aviation mechanic, refrigeration mechanic, etc.
Clerk / Warehouse clerk, pharmacy clerk, etc.
Engineer / Industrial engineer, metallurgic engineer, etc.
Driver / Bus driver, truck driver, etc.
You should also avoid using terms such as: employee, day-laborer, workers, unspecialized worker, etc.
If the person does not know how to indicate the name of his/her work, ask the person about the principal tasks that he/she does, and write: drive a truck, take care of animals, open button holes, fold sheets of metal, etc.
If the interviewee simultaneously works at more than one job, you should consider the one to which the person has dedicated more time.
Remember that we are only interested the real job or occupation that the person has in his/her state, cooperative or private job, whatever his/her profession or occupation.
