29%
71/ 100
1 Share of the airport director role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aviation surveillance and code coordination 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 this move works
A airport director role treats 7 of its required skills as things a aviation surveillance and code coordination manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- apply airport standards and regulations
- implement improvements in airport operations
- manage staff
- supervise maintenance activities in airports
- use different communication channels
- work in an aviation team
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 · What you already bring
Of the 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A airport director role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aviation surveillance and code coordination manager background worth leading with.
- already held supervise maintenance activities in airports management skills
- already held implement improvements in airport operations communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held apply airport standards and regulations assisting and caring
- already held work in an aviation team communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held write work-related reports communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held manage staff management skills
All 7 carried skills, including the 7 the airport director role treats as required.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a airport director role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.

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.
