1 Share of the aviation communications and frequency coordination manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aviation data communications manager profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A aviation communications and frequency coordination manager role treats 9 of its required skills as things a aviation data communications manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply technical communication skills
  • communicate in air traffic services
  • have computer literacy
  • manage data
  • manage flight data communications programme
  • monitor communication channels' performance

What stands in the way is 5 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aviation communications and frequency coordination manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aviation data communications manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held manage flight data communications programme working with computers
  • already held monitor communication channels' performance information skills
  • already held communicate in air traffic services communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held work in an aviation team communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held manage data information skills
  • already held perform multiple tasks at the same time management skills

All 11 carried skills, including the 9 the aviation communications and frequency coordination manager role treats as required.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
