The field of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) has seen massive growth in recent years. Numerous degree programs have started to redesign their curricula to meet the high market demand of such job positions. In this paper, we performed a content analysis of online job postings hosted on Indeed.com and provided a skill classification framework for AR/VR job positions. Furthermore, we present a ranking of the relevant skills for the job position. Overall, we noticed that technical skills like UI/UX design, software design, asset design and graphics rendering are highly desirable for AR/VR positions. Our findings regarding prominent skill categories could be beneficial for the human resource departments as well as enhancing existing course curricula to tailor to the high market demand.
