Professional profile, Professional Skills, Technical Competencies.Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the profile required by the labor market for accounting professionals in the area of costs, based on the guidelines of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), analyzing 155 job openings announced on the Manager Jobs website. The co-occurrence networks obtained by the Jaccard coefficient allowed for outlining the professional profile required by the job market. The findings indicate that, showing multidisciplinary knowledge, preparing reports for decision making, mastering elements of information technology and English language are among the identified technical concerns. Regarding professional skills, we found that possessing communication skills, critical and analytical thinking, systemic vision, focus, organization and ethics are highlighted by organizations that intend to hire cost professionals. The results imply the importance of developing, besides technical skills, social skills with students of Accounting courses in order to meet the demands of the labor market, and for students to become able to make their curricula attractive to organizations and overcome barriers sometimes existing due to little professional experience in the job market.References
