Minimum Qualifications

Job Description Instructions

List only those education and experience requirements needed for the first day of work.  This includes occupational licenses, certifications, degrees, or related requriements.  Things to consider are:

  • Education and Licensing Requirements - Some occupations have specific licensing and education requirements.  If the job requries licensing or education, list those requirements on the job description.  For example, to practice medicine, a doctor must be a graduate of an approved medical school, complete an approved residency program of at least two years, and have a license to practice medicine.  Another example might be a requirement to maintain a pilot's license to fly a plane
  • Preferred Qualifications - Some education or experience may be desired, but not required.  You may still list these qualifications if you note that they are preferred, not required.
