1 Share of the data entry clerk role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the data entry supervisor 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 data entry clerk role treats 8 of its required skills as things a data entry supervisor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply information security policies
  • database
  • documentation types
  • maintain data entry requirements
  • perform data cleansing
  • process data

What stands in the way is 2 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 28 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A data entry clerk 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 ABBYY FineReader information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held OmniPage information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held optical character recognition software information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held maintain data entry requirements information skills
  • already held implement data warehousing techniques working with computers
  • already held manage ICT data classification working with computers

All 28 carried skills, including the 8 the data entry clerk role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 6 missing skills fall into 2 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.

The 2 entries a data entry clerk role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
