53.8/ 100

1 Share of the economic adviser role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the economic development coordinator 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 economic adviser role treats 10 of its required skills as things a economic development coordinator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • advise on economic development
  • analyse economic trends
  • analyse market financial trends
  • apply statistical analysis techniques
  • assess risk factors
  • carry out statistical forecasts

What stands in the way is 11 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 20 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A economic adviser role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a economic development coordinator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held advise on economic development communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held advise on public finance communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held advise on government policy compliance communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held public finance business, administration and law
  • already held ensure information transparency information skills
  • already held assess risk factors information skills

All 20 carried skills, including the 10 the economic adviser role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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.
