Ferdighetene avgjør hvor mange stillinger du i det hele tatt kan søke på. Søylene viser hvor mange stillinger som er lyst ut de siste 90 dagene for hver enkelt ferdighet i denne annonsen — ikke bare her, men på hele Autosøk. De lengste søylene er ferdighetene arbeidsmarkedet etterspør bredest, og de er verdt å løfte fram øverst i CV-en og søknaden. De korteste er nisjeferdigheter: de gir færre treff, men også færre konkurrenter når de først etterspørres.
Én ferdighet med lav etterspørsel betyr ikke at annonsen er smal — den kan være det som skiller deg fra de andre søkerne.
