1 Share of the digital games developer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the blockchain developer 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 digital games developer role treats 6 of its required skills as things a blockchain developer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • ICT debugging tools
  • computer programming
  • debug software
  • use software design patterns
  • use software libraries
  • utilise computer-aided software engineering tools

What stands in the way is 13 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 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A digital games developer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a blockchain developer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held adapt to changes in technological development plans communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held use software design patterns communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held use software libraries working with computers
  • already held design user interface communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held utilise computer-aided software engineering tools working with computers
  • already held debug software working with computers

All 13 carried skills, including the 6 the digital games developer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 69 missing skills fall into 7 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

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.
