1 Share of the telecommunications engineering technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the telecommunications analyst 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 telecommunications engineering technician role treats 12 of its required skills as things a telecommunications analyst already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • ICT communications protocols
  • analog electronics theory
  • calibrate electronic instruments
  • direct inward dialing
  • electromagnetism
  • electronics principles

What stands in the way is 13 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 19 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A telecommunications engineering technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a telecommunications analyst background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held analog electronics theory engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held direct inward dialing business, administration and law
  • already held use session border controller working with computers
  • already held upgrade firmware working with computers
  • already held install monitors for process control working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held operate private branch exchange working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 19 carried skills, including the 12 the telecommunications engineering technician role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 57 missing skills fall into 9 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.

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.
