Data on the critical and distinctive skills necessary for those working in the Ophthalmic & Optometric Support Services field from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Ophthalmic & Optometric Support Services majors need many skills, but most especially Active Listening. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA) shows that Ophthalmic & Optometric Support Services majors need more than the average amount of Equipment Maintenance, Equipment Selection, Repairing, Troubleshooting, Service Orientation, Operation and Control, Quality Control Analysis, Active Listening, Social Perceptiveness, Coordination, Speaking, Operation Monitoring, Active Learning, Learning Strategies, Monitoring, Reading Comprehension, Mathematics, Instructing, Writing, Judgment and Decision Making, Critical Thinking, Science, Time Management, Complex Problem Solving, Management of Personnel Resources, Systems Evaluation, Systems Analysis, Programming, Persuasion, Negotiation, Management of Material Resources, Operations Analysis, Management of Financial Resources, Technology Design, and Installation.
These two visualizations, one a radial chart and one a bar chart, show the same information, a rating of how necessary the following skills are for Ophthalmic & Optometric Support Services majors. Toggle between "value" and "RCA" to see the absolute rating of that skill (value) and the revealed comparative advantage (RCA), or how much greater or lesser that skill's rating is than the average. The longer the bar or the closer the line comes to the circumference of the circle, the more important that skill is. The importance of Equipment Maintenance is very distinctive for majors, but the Active Listening, Speaking, Reading Comprehension, Service Orientation, Writing, Critical Thinking, Active Learning, Social Perceptiveness, Monitoring, Coordination, Judgment and Decision Making, Learning Strategies, Instructing, Time Management, Mathematics, Complex Problem Solving, Equipment Selection, Quality Control Analysis, Operation Monitoring, Equipment Maintenance, Systems Analysis, Systems Evaluation, Management of Personnel Resources, Persuasion, Science, Troubleshooting, Negotiation, Operation and Control, Repairing, Programming, Operations Analysis, Management of Material Resources, Management of Financial Resources, Technology Design, and Installation are the three most important skills for people in the field.
