1 Share of the publishing rights manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the broadcasting programme director 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 publishing rights manager role treats 4 of its required skills as things a broadcasting programme director already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • copyright legislation
  • finish project within budget
  • manage staff
  • negotiate with artists

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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A publishing rights manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a broadcasting programme director background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held negotiate with artists communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held market analysis business, administration and law
  • already held finish project within budget management skills
  • already held copyright legislation business, administration and law
  • already held perform market research information skills
  • already held manage staff management skills

All 6 carried skills, including the 4 the publishing rights 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.
