1 Share of the competition policy officer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the housing policy officer 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 competition policy officer role treats 5 of its required skills as things a housing policy officer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • advise on legislative acts
  • create solutions to problems
  • government policy implementation
  • manage government policy implementation
  • market analysis

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

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held inspect government policy compliance information skills
  • already held policy analysis social sciences, journalism and information
  • already held European Structural and Investment Funds regulations business, administration and law
  • already held advise on government policy compliance communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held market analysis business, administration and law
  • already held advise on legislative acts communication, collaboration and creativity

All 11 carried skills, including the 5 the competition policy officer role treats as required.

The 19 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.

7 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

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.
