1 Share of the electromagnetic engineer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the computer hardware engineer 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 electromagnetic engineer role treats 30 of its required skills as things a computer hardware engineer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • abide by regulations on banned materials
  • adjust engineering designs
  • analyse test data
  • approve engineering design
  • conduct literature research
  • conduct quality control analysis

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 67 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A electromagnetic engineer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a computer hardware engineer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held abide by regulations on banned materials assisting and caring
  • already held environmental threats natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
  • already held conduct literature research information skills
  • already held maintain safe engineering watches assisting and caring
  • already held electricity principles engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held coordinate engineering teams management skills

All 67 carried skills, including the 30 the electromagnetic engineer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 22 missing skills fall into 11 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

14 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
