1 Share of the online marketer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the online sales channel 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 online marketer role treats 8 of its required skills as things a online sales channel manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply social media marketing
  • apply strategic thinking
  • creatively use digital technologies
  • e-commerce systems
  • perform market research
  • perform project management

What stands in the way is 20 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 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A online marketer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a online sales channel manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held web strategy assessment business, administration and law
  • already held conduct online competitive analysis management skills
  • already held creatively use digital technologies working with computers
  • already held plan social media marketing campaigns management skills
  • already held use e-services working with computers
  • already held plan digital marketing management skills

All 13 carried skills, including the 8 the online marketer 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.
