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