Abstract:

A machine may be configured to identify skills for a projected next job position. For example, the machine performs an analysis of profile data associated with a plurality of members of a social network service. Based on the analysis of the profile data and a present job position of a particular member of the social network service, the machine identifies a projected next position in a career path model. The machine identifies a cohort of other members of the social network service. The identifying of the cohort may be based on each cohort member holding the projected next position in a respective career. Each cohort member may be associated with one or more skills. The machine identifies one or more over-indexed skills for the cohort based on the one or more skills of the cohort members. The machine generates a recommendation that includes the one or more over-indexed skills.
