Job Titles: Difficult to find

[egasparini]

@Wah-AuSMF to advise how we want to proceed with this.

[Wah-AuSMF]

@egasparini Have spoken with team and we will address this in the copy.

@dupreesi I've changed the copy to the below - could you please update:

_What is the occupation of your highest paid parent or guardian? *

Start by entering a general word which describes their role. E.g. Administrator. Next, scroll down the list to find the option which fits. Don't worry about getting the exact job title! You may also want to try reversing the words, e.g. Civil Servant = "Servant, Civil." If you're having trouble, finding the right option, try searching here first.

As long as you find an option which describes their occupation, you're good to go.

If they're not currently in paid work but have had a job in the last three years or have recently retired? Enter their last occupation. Or, your guardian hasn't been in paid work? Select 'Unemployed'._

Thanks @Wah-AuSMF!
@dupreesi will assign this to you, if you could sort it out this week it would be great. Thanks!

[dupreesi]

done @Wah-AuSMF @egasparini but just letting you know that it is a lot of explainer text on the page now:

Let me know if I should update anything - could make it collapsable but I guess it works for now?

[egasparini]

@Wah-AuSMF, @dupreesi and I discuss this task this morning and adjusting the search functionality seems to be a rather big task. We expect it to take about 3 days.
We don't have capacity for it this week and next week, but we could pick it up the first week of October. Would that work?

@dupreesi @egasparini

Thanks for the update! Yes, if we can please schedule this in for w/c 2nd October.

I thought the search update might happen earlier so while before that change is made, can we please update the copy on the webapp this week?

"What is the main occupation of your highest paid parent or guardian? *

• Is your guardian recently retired or searching for work? Enter their latest job.
• If they have more than one job? Enter the one they’ve done the longest.
• Haven’t been in paid work? Enter 'Unemployed'.

Don’t worry about finding the exact job title, as long as you find an option which roughly describes their occupation, you're good to go!"

@dupreesi Hi Simon! Thanks again for already making a big improvement to the search! Here's the new copy for the webapp:

"What is the main occupation of your highest paid parent or guardian? *

• Is your guardian recently retired or searching for work? Enter their latest job.
• If they have more than one job? Enter the one they’ve done the longest.
• Haven’t been in paid work? Enter 'Unemployed'.

Don’t worry about finding the exact job title, as long as you find an option which roughly describes their occupation, you're good to go!"

@Wah-AuSMF search filter functions have been updated to fix above bug description (ignoring commas but also making it possible to use them) + requested content updates also have been deployed by now

[Wah-AuSMF]

Thanks @dupreesi - Seems to be working with no issue!

However, a very low priority issue with the copy, a speech mark has been accidentally included in the content - please remove:

• Remove " from copy.

Don’t worry about finding the exact job title, as long as you find an option which roughly describes their occupation, you're good to go!
