What do I put for the Occupation if I just worked for the beginning for last year?

I only worked from January to May, and  then I was unemployed for the rest of the year.

The IRS only uses "occupation" for statistical purposes; it has no effect on your tax due or refund.  You can use whatever you want to for occupation.
