1 Share of the deputy head teacher role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the international student exchange coordinator 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 deputy head teacher role treats 5 of its required skills as things a international student exchange coordinator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

assist in the organisation of school events
cooperate with education professionals
education administration
guarantee students' safety
provide education management support

What stands in the way is 12 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 deputy head teacher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a international student exchange coordinator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held manage student admissions management skills
already held provide education management support management skills
already held apply for government funding information skills
already held education administration business, administration and law
already held cooperate with education professionals communication, collaboration and creativity
already held escort students on a field trip assisting and caring

All 8 carried skills, including the 5 the deputy head teacher 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.
