Where a typist can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a typist already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Typists operate computers to type and revise documents and compile material to be typed, such as correspondence, reports, statistical tables, forms, and audios. They read instructions accompanying material or follow verbal instructions to determine requirements such as number of copies needed, priority and desired format.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a typist already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
