:[[Position requirement]]s are the [[requirement]]s that a holder of a particular [[rank position]] has to meet. [[Employer]]s impose some ''requirements''; the others may be imposed by law, government authority, or [[contract]]s.
  
Job requirements may include specific skills, types and amounts of work experience, personal qualities, educational credentials, professional certifications, or areas of knowledge. Job postings may also state that some other skills, experience, or credentials are preferred but not required.

:''Requirements'' may vary widely. They may involve [[third-party credential]]s.
  
Employers try to be as specific as possible when listing job requirements in order to reduce the pool of applicants. They want candidates who are as close a match as possible to the job requirements in order to streamline the application process.

What do those requirements mean? It can be hard to figure out exactly what the company is looking for in a candidate. You'll find a lot of buzzwords in job postings, but what do they actually mean, and how do they translate to what the employer is looking for?

Types of Job Requirements
 
Skill Requirements
 
  
Experience requirements may involve types of experiences where candidates apply specific skills, e.g., “extensive experience programming with PHP.” Experience requirements might include working with a specific population or in a specific industry or employment sector, e.g., counseling experience with battered or abused women, or advising experience in a college setting.

Years of Experience
 
  
Experience requirements typically refer to a number of years of experience either in a general way or in a specific role, e.g., five or more years of career counseling experience, or three years of accounting experience working for a financial institution.

Educational Requirements

:Other ''requirements'' may include [[drug test]]s, [[driving record]]s, [[employment physical]]s, particular [[vaccination]]s, and so on.

When You Don’t Have All the Job Requirements
 
 
 
Even though a qualification might be listed as a requirement, you should still consider applying for attractive positions if you possess most, but not all, of the requirements. Often, job listings include a long list of requirements, some of which are much more important to the job than others.
 
 
 
There may not be a perfect candidate who matches all the requirements, so if you have some of the qualifications it may sense to apply.
 
 
 
If your educational background is a close match for the job and if you have employment, volunteer, internship, or learning experiences that would support your application, for example, it’s worth taking the time to apply. If it’s obviously a stretch – the job requires a Ph.D., for example, and you have an undergraduate degree – don’t waste the employer’s time or your own by applying.
 
 
 
Employers may choose candidates who excel in certain key areas but are lacking in others. When creating a job listing, employers imagine an ideal candidate, but they may never find someone who meets all of their requirements. Therefore, during the application process, be sure to emphasize the qualifications that you do have.

Position requirements are the requirements that a holder of a particular rank position has to meet. Employers impose some requirements; the others may be imposed by law, government authority, or contracts.
Requirements may vary widely. They may involve third-party credentials.
For instance, some government jobs may require security clearances. In the United States, the clearance is an official determination that an individual may access information classified by the United States Federal Government. Security clearances are hierarchical; each level grants the holder access to information in that level and the levels below it. They are complex; several agencies such as FBI conduct separate checks.
In the United States, background checks shall comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act; that particularly means that the candidates must grant their consent on those checks. The employer, or independent professional investigation firms that the employer has hired to conduct those checks, must provide the candidate with the information they obtain as the result of the checks.
Some background checks are conducted once, at the time of hiring; the others may be conducted periodically.
The federal law requires criminal background checks for positions associated with the handling of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, animals, or working with children.
A driver license could be required if the employee needs to drive a vehicle. A commercial driver license (CDL) may be required if the employee is supposed to drive special types of vehicles.
Other requirements may include drug tests, driving records, employment physicals, particular vaccinations, and so on.
