1 Share of the publications coordinator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the social entrepreneur 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 publications coordinator role treats 7 of its required skills as things a social entrepreneur already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

apply social media marketing
digital communication and collaboration
digital marketing techniques
manage budgets
manage staff
perform project management

What stands in the way is 15 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 publications coordinator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a social entrepreneur background worth leading with.

already held apply social media marketing communication, collaboration and creativity

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.
