30.5/ 100

1 Share of the university literature lecturer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the sociology lecturer 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 university literature lecturer role treats 23 of its required skills as things a sociology lecturer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply blended learning
  • apply intercultural teaching strategies
  • apply teaching strategies
  • assess students
  • communicate with a non-scientific audience
  • compile course material

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 67 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A university literature lecturer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a sociology lecturer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held serve on academic committee management skills
  • already held supervise doctoral students management skills
  • already held supervise educational staff management skills
  • already held assist students with their dissertation communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held university procedures business, administration and law
  • already held provide career counselling communication, collaboration and creativity

All 67 carried skills, including the 23 the university literature lecturer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 11 missing skills fall into 4 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

9 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.
