1 Share of the activism officer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the election observer 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 activism officer role treats 1 of its required skills as things a election observer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • use communication techniques

What stands in the way is 10 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 5 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A activism officer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a election observer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held work in an international environment communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held show intercultural awareness communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held observe confidentiality assisting and caring
  • already held establish collaborative relations communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held use communication techniques communication, collaboration and creativity

All 5 carried skills, including the 1 the activism officer 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.
