JobzMall's skill rating system is designed to help you accurately represent your proficiency levels across various skills. Here's what our 1-5 scale represents:
โ€‹

1 - Novice: Basic understanding or limited experience

2 - Advanced Beginner: Developing skills with some practical application

3 - Competent: Solid working knowledge and independent task completion

4 - Proficient: Advanced knowledge with the ability to handle complex situations

5 - Expert: Comprehensive and authoritative knowledge, often able to teach others
โ€‹

When filling out your profile or job applications, use this scale to rate your skills honestly. This helps employers better understand your capabilities and match you with suitable positions. Remember, it's okay not to be an expert in everything - a diverse skill set with varying proficiency levels can be very attractive to potential employers!
