The skills this job asks for, and the level for each.
155 skills listed by ESCO, 82 of them essential. 155 are in our skills list and linked; we measure a match on those. ESCO gives no levels, so we ask for level 3 on an essential skill and 2 on the rest.
Occupation: ISCO-08 occupations (International Labour Organization). Skills: This service uses the ESCO classification of the European Commission (v1.2.1, CC BY 4.0), modified by CareersMatch.

Signed in, we set your profile beside it
Level by level, using only what your profile holds. Something we know nothing about yet is shown as not yet known, never as a no.
You see where you fall short, and what would change it
Answering a question, adding your level or adding a certificate. We never show a pay rise or a time estimate we have no data for.
What this path asks for comes from O*NET 31.0 (U.S. Department of Labor, CC BY 4.0), through the official ISCO-08 to US occupation crosswalk. A competency is essential where O*NET rates it at least 3.5 of 5 in importance.
