1 Share of the system configurator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the mobile application developer 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 49 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A system configurator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a mobile application developer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held mobile device software frameworks information and communication technologies (icts)
already held develop automated migration methods management skills
already held use logic programming working with computers
already held create flowchart diagram communication, collaboration and creativity
already held collect customer feedback on applications information skills
already held migrate existing data working with computers

All 49 carried skills, including the 8 the system configurator role treats as required.

35 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.
