1 Share of the navy officer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the fleet commander 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 navy officer role treats 9 of its required skills as things a fleet commander already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply navy operation procedures
  • coordinate the ship crew
  • devise military tactics
  • ensure public safety and security
  • lead military troops
  • military combat techniques

What stands in the way is 11 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 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A navy officer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a fleet commander background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held apply navy operation procedures assisting and caring
  • already held train naval crew communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held navy operations services
  • already held coordinate the ship crew management skills
  • already held analyse ship operations information skills
  • already held ensure vessel security information skills

All 14 carried skills, including the 9 the navy 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.
