Since skill levels are highly subjective and relative to the individual, I have provided my personal interpretation of the various proficiency levels and where each of my respective technical skills resides.
Note that while I place importance on the expertise of technical skills, I place equal (and sometimes more) value on “soft skills.” I classify these into a few different areas: Relationship Management, Communication (written, verbal, & non-verbal body-language), and Presentation/Meeting Acumen. I make a concerted effort to develop and leverage these skills on an every day basis.
Advanced: I employ these skills on an every day basis in a manner that is on par or above that of my peers. Additionally, I have taught these skills to another.
- SQL
- R
- Tableau
- Google Analytics
- Google Tag Manager
- Google BigQuery
- ETL
Intermediate: I utilize these skills on a relatively frequent basis or I employed these skills in an “Advanced” capacity at one of my previous roles, but would need a quick refresh to be comfortable.
- Optimizely
- Python
- Adobe Analytics
- HTML
Basic: I have utilized these skills in a professional capacity, but have since moved on from needing these skills to be a part of my everyday arsenal.
- Adobe Target
- MicroStrategy
Additionally, there are several “project” platforms in which I am familiar with – either through my current role or previous roles – but do not consider part of a “technical skillset.” These include the Atlassian suite of products (Jira and Confluence), Asana, & Basecamp.
