1 How much of what a big data archive librarian is expected to do is already part of a chief data officer’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 big data archive librarian role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

A big data archive librarian role treats 9 of its required skills as things a chief data officer already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

  • business intelligence
  • data models
  • database
  • database development tools
  • database management systems
  • manage ICT data classification

What stands in the way is 14 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 33 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A big data archive librarian role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a chief data officer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held manage ICT data classification working with computers
  • already held integrate ICT data working with computers
  • already held Oracle Relational Database information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held CA Datacom/DB information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held Filemaker (database management systems) information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held IBM Informix information and communication technologies (icts)

All 33 carried skills, including the 9 the big data archive librarian role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 40 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.

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.
