1 Share of the promoter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the event 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 promoter role treats 6 of its required skills as things a event manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • arrange event needs
  • confer with event staff
  • plan events
  • plan presence at professional events
  • plan schedule
  • solicit event publicity

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

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held direct event administrative details management skills
  • already held arrange event needs management skills
  • already held plan presence at professional events management skills
  • already held confer with event staff communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held select event providers management skills
  • already held solicit event publicity communication, collaboration and creativity

All 8 carried skills, including the 6 the promoter role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 12 missing skills fall into 4 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.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

2 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
