71.1/ 100

1 Share of the book publisher role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the radio producer 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 book publisher role treats 6 of its required skills as things a radio producer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • assess financial viability
  • copyright legislation
  • manage budgets
  • manage staff
  • perform market research
  • project management principles

What stands in the way is 9 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 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A book publisher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a radio producer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held brand marketing techniques business, administration and law
  • already held project management principles business, administration and law
  • already held assess financial viability information skills
  • already held copyright legislation business, administration and law
  • already held perform market research information skills
  • already held manage budgets management skills

All 7 carried skills, including the 6 the book publisher 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.
