1 Share of the cloud software developer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the cloud identity 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A cloud software developer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a cloud identity manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held deploy cloud resource working with computers
already held design cloud networks communication, collaboration and creativity
already held implement cloud security and compliance information skills
already held cloud monitoring and reporting information and communication technologies (icts)
already held develop with cloud services working with computers
already held automate cloud tasks communication, collaboration and creativity

All 12 carried skills, including the 12 the cloud software developer 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.
