List the minimum level of skills, knowledge, abilities and competencies required to perform the essential functions described. The minimum requirements should support the accomplishment of the essential function. For example, the essential function of mail pick up and delivery could require:
- Organizational skills (to properly sort and distribute mail);
- Communication skills (to interact with mail recipients and senders); and
- Valid California Driver’s License (to operate University vehicles).
The preferred skills, knowledge, abilities and competencies can describe a more proficient level at which the essential functions can be performed. For example, preferred skills, knowledge and abilities related to the essential function of mail pick up and delivery could include prior experience with United States Postal Service practices (prior experience in a related area can be preferred) and knowledge of applicable UC policies and procedures (prior experience within the UC system can be preferred). The skills, knowledge, abilities and competencies should always define the essential functions of the position, not the incumbent holding the position. The Skills, Knowledge, and Abilities Inventory listing provides additional help.
