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

comply with legal regulations
coordinate technological activities
execute ICT audits
implement ICT risk management
manage budgets

What stands in the way is 5 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 telecommunications manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ICT resilience manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held implement ICT risk management information skills
already held execute ICT audits information skills
already held coordinate technological activities management skills
already held provide cost benefit analysis reports information skills
already held perform procurement processes communication, collaboration and creativity
already held comply with legal regulations assisting and caring

All 8 carried skills, including the 5 the telecommunications manager 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.
