1 Share of the call centre analyst role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the call centre quality auditor 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 call centre analyst role treats 7 of its required skills as things a call centre quality auditor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • analyse call performance trends
  • call quality assurance management
  • call routing
  • call-centre technologies
  • provide objective assessments of calls
  • report call errors

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 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A call centre analyst role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a call centre quality auditor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held provide objective assessments of calls management skills
  • already held report call errors information skills
  • already held train staff on call quality assurance communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held call routing information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held call-centre technologies information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held analyse call performance trends information skills

All 8 carried skills, including the 7 the call centre analyst role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 21 missing skills fall into 5 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.

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.
