Occupation Matches

Occupation matches are indications of how well a user's skills match a specific occupation. An occupation match compares the information that a user has entered about his or her skills with those required to perform well at a particular occupation.

Understanding an Occupation Match

An Occupation Match consists of 4 columns (indicators) you must to know to understand how a user's skillset.

1. Occupation title - The name given to an occupational role.
   
   
2. Overall Skill Indicator - An overall indication of how the user's skill set matches to all of the skills associated with the occupation in question.
   
   
3. Essential Skill Indicator - An indicator of how many of the "Essential" skills required for the occupation a user has. Essential skills are deemed to be skills which are critical to the role regardless of context.
   
   
4. Optional Skill Indicator - An indicator of how many of the "Optional" skills required for the occupation a user has. Optional skills are considered skills that may be required in certain contexts (such as specific countries) but not in others.
