The qualifications for an intermediate job vary drastically from job to job. While previous experience is the biggest factor, fulfilling your duties and responsibilities in an intermediate job may require advanced education in your field, familiarity with sophisticated machines, advanced programming skills, or almost anything that allows you to complete more complex tasks than an entry-level employee. In some companies, this is the level where most non-management work occurs. Intermediate jobs have different requirements and expectations in various industries. For example, an intermediate employee in a pharmacy can only work under the supervision of a pharmacist, regardless of the employee's experience. As a general rule, any job that requires several years of experience but doesn't include managing others is an intermediate position.
