1 Share of the volunteer mentor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the activism officer 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 volunteer mentor role treats 4 of its required skills as things a activism officer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • listen actively
  • observe confidentiality
  • show intercultural awareness
  • use communication techniques

What stands in the way is 18 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 4 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A volunteer mentor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a activism officer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held show intercultural awareness communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held observe confidentiality assisting and caring
  • already held use communication techniques communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held listen actively communication, collaboration and creativity

All 4 carried skills, including the 4 the volunteer mentor role treats as required.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
