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 Receptionist 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 Service Orientation is very distinctive for majors, but the Reading Comprehension, Active Listening, Speaking, Service Orientation, Critical Thinking, Coordination, Persuasion, Active Learning, Social Perceptiveness, Negotiation, Writing, Monitoring, Mathematics, Judgment and Decision Making, Time Management, Complex Problem Solving, Learning Strategies, Systems Analysis, Systems Evaluation, Instructing, Quality Control Analysis, Management of Material Resources, Management of Financial Resources, Operations Analysis, Management of Personnel Resources, Operation Monitoring, Operation and Control, Programming, Troubleshooting, Technology Design, Science, Equipment Selection, Installation, Equipment Maintenance, and Repairing are the three most important skills for people in the field.
