CSA-level knowledge: the data model, forms and lists, users and groups, basic ACLs, update sets, and how an incident moves through ITSM. Employers expect a personal developer instance you have actually built on.
Working depth in one product line plus solid scripting. You can take a requirement to a working configuration alone, write and debug business rules and client scripts, build a REST integration, and explain your update set strategy. CAD and one CIS certification are the usual proof.
Platform-wide design judgement: when to script and when not to, how to keep an instance upgradeable, how integrations should be shaped, and how to say no to a customer. CTA is the credential employers ask for at this level.
