How to use this ladder well

  1. Circle several roles. Do not select only the most familiar title.
  2. Compare the real tasks. Look at work settings, tools, people contact and responsibility.
  3. Check current requirements. Qualifications and registration can change after a poster is published.
  4. Test one option. Use a conversation, open day, short course or work experience placement.
