    I have provided labor to employers using specialized and advanced skills, though I had no formal credentials or training.

    Was I an “unskilled worker”?

      In a similar position, I’d consider myself a skilled worker in an unskilled role. I do work with hazardous stuff though, so maybe it is defined as skilled even though I didn’t have to go through hours of training.

        In my case the role was considered formally as skilled, but demonstration of aptitude on the site and from past engagements was accepted at evidence of my having acquired the skill.
