essential:must have
desirable:you have
an essential skill is something you need and a desirable skill is something you want
The difference between desirable and essential is... essential is a MUST have where as... desirable is something someone would LIKE you to have. For example; in a job description it may have A-C in GSCE Maths as an essential because they are saying you MUST have this but it may say a current driving licence is an advantage which it could then say desirable next to it as they would LIKE you to have this but it is not a must hope this helps... from Charley
