1 Share of the aviation data communications manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the cabin crew instructor 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 aviation data communications manager role treats 4 of its required skills as things a cabin crew instructor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply technical communication skills
  • common aviation safety regulations
  • use different communication channels
  • write work-related reports

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 4 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aviation data communications manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a cabin crew instructor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held common aviation safety regulations business, administration and law
  • already held apply technical communication skills communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held write work-related reports communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held use different communication channels communication, collaboration and creativity

All 4 carried skills, including the 4 the aviation data communications manager role treats as required.

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.
