public relations managertoelection agent
A public relations manager already meets 48% of what the election agent role asks for. The move turns on 5 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 49.8 of 100 · moderate
1 Share of the election agent role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the public relations 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.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A election agent role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a public relations manager background worth leading with.

- already held advise on public image communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held political campaigning social sciences, journalism and information
- already held prepare presentation material communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held coordinate advertising campaigns management skills

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.
