Where a customs officer can go next

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

Customs officers combat the importation of illegal goods, firearms, drugs or other dangerous or illegal items while checking the legality of items brought across national borders. They are government officials who control the documents to ensure entry criteria and custom laws are complied with and control if the custom taxes are paid correctly.

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a customs officer 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.
