1 Share of the aeronautical information specialist role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the chemical application specialist 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 aeronautical information specialist role treats 3 of its required skills as things a chemical application specialist already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • build business relationships
  • communicate with customers
  • write work-related reports

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 4 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aeronautical information specialist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a chemical application specialist background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held apply business acumen management skills
  • already held build business relationships communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held communicate with customers communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held write work-related reports communication, collaboration and creativity

All 4 carried skills, including the 3 the aeronautical information specialist 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.
