1 Share of the fundraising manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the auction house manager 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 fundraising manager role treats 8 of its required skills as things a auction house manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

corporate social responsibility
develop professional network
financial management
fix meetings
follow company standards
manage budgets

What stands in the way is 16 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 9 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A fundraising manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a auction house manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held fix meetings management skills
already held financial management business, administration and law
already held strive for company growth management skills
already held plan health and safety procedures management skills
already held follow company standards assisting and caring
already held corporate social responsibility business, administration and law

All 9 carried skills, including the 8 the fundraising manager 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.
