1 How much of what a big data archive librarian is expected to do is already part of a data entry supervisor’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 7 of its required skills as things a data entry supervisor already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

data models
database
maintain data entry requirements
manage ICT data classification
manage data
query languages

What stands in the way is 16 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 17 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 data entry supervisor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held maintain data entry requirements information skills
already held manage ICT data classification working with computers
already held normalise data working with computers
already held manage data collection systems information skills
already held database information and communication technologies (icts)
already held data models information and communication technologies (icts)

All 17 carried skills, including the 7 the big data archive librarian role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 56 missing skills fall into 10 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.
