I'm not sure if this should be in the "bugs" section but it seems like they did it intentionally but it seems wrong. 

When you're logged in and look at your profile it shows your list of skills under the heading of skills and you can enter (or do skills tests for) things like "content writing", "video editing" etc. 

So the things you enter there are actual skills. 

When those get shown in the "public preview" mode or to people other than you or when you use a logged out browser they get shown, under the "Skills" title as "Content writer" (not "Content writing"), "Video editor" (not video editing). It changes "Photo editing" that you enter on your skill list to "Photo editor" (but the skill is "photo editing" not "photo editor"). 

But "content writer" isn't a skill (it's a job title). "Video editor" isn't a skill (it's a job title). "video editing" is a skill. 

It also changes some skills entered to "<job title > expert" despite you either entering "Intermediate" (not expert) in the set-up for that skill. Others show as "<job title> expert" when you just passed a test with a score of 6.5 out of 10 and it just shows "Tested" in the set-up where the skill level can be entered for non-tested skills. But if you haven't specified you're an expert at that it shouldn't show "expert" after it, especially when 6.5 out of 10 isn't much more than the pass mark. 

So it seems to reword lots (or all?) of the skills you enter/select as job titles but still lists them to buyers/logged-out users under the heading of "skills". Isn't that wrong? 

Skills are shown differently to buyers/logged-out users than they were entered by sellers
