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

  • apply grammar and spelling rules
  • build contacts to maintain news flow
  • consult information sources
  • copyright legislation
  • develop professional network
  • follow the news

What stands in the way is 10 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 25 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A political journalist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a vlogger background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held stay up to date with social media information skills
  • already held manage personal finances management skills
  • already held build contacts to maintain news flow communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held create online news content communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held use specific writing techniques communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held check correctness of information information skills

All 25 carried skills, including the 12 the political journalist 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.
