Have you ever noticed how two people can have the same job title but do completely different things? A “Coordinator” at a small local nonprofit might have a very different set of responsibilities and required skills than a “Coordinator” at a global tech firm. This is why looking at job zones alone can be so misleading. To truly understand the level of skill and effort a role requires, we need a more precise tool. That’s where Specific Vocational Preparation, or SVP, comes into play.
