1 Share of the publications coordinator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the employer branding manager 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 publications coordinator role treats 5 of its required skills as things a employer branding manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply social media marketing
  • brand marketing techniques
  • content marketing strategy
  • digital marketing techniques
  • social media marketing techniques

What stands in the way is 17 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 publications coordinator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a employer branding manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held plan digital marketing management skills
  • already held digital marketing techniques business, administration and law
  • already held brand marketing techniques business, administration and law
  • already held social media marketing techniques business, administration and law
  • already held apply social media marketing communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held content marketing strategy business, administration and law

All 6 carried skills, including the 5 the publications coordinator 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.
