A chemical application specialist already meets 18% of what the aeronautical information specialist role asks for. The move turns on 15 required skills not yet in the profile.
77/ 100
1 How much of what an aeronautical information specialist is expected to do is already part of a chemical application specialist’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the aeronautical information specialist role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
An aeronautical information specialist role treats 3 of its required skills as things a chemical application specialist already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- build business relationships
- communicate with customers
- write work-related reports
What stands in the way is 15 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 4 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. An aeronautical information specialist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a chemical application specialist background worth leading with.
- already held apply business acumen management skills
- already held build business relationships communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held communicate with customers communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held write work-related reports communication, collaboration and creativity
All 4 carried skills, including the 3 the aeronautical information specialist role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 17 missing skills fall into 8 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

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.
