1 Share of the sales processor 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 sales processor role treats 5 of its required skills as things a aviation data communications manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • have computer literacy
  • perform multiple tasks at the same time
  • present reports
  • use databases
  • use different communication channels

What stands in the way is 15 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 5 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A sales processor 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 use databases working with computers
  • already held perform multiple tasks at the same time management skills
  • already held present reports communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held have computer literacy working with computers
  • already held use different communication channels communication, collaboration and creativity

All 5 carried skills, including the 5 the sales processor 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.
