37/ 100

1 Share of the survey enumerator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the field survey 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.

Why

Why this move works

A survey enumerator role treats 11 of its required skills as things a field survey manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adhere to questionnaires
  • capture people's attention
  • communication
  • document interviews
  • information confidentiality
  • interview people

What stands in the way is 3 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 survey enumerator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a field survey manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held capture people's attention communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held prepare survey report communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held explain interview purposes communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held adhere to questionnaires communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held tabulate survey results information skills
  • already held evaluate interview reports information skills

All 20 carried skills, including the 11 the survey enumerator role treats as required.

9 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

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.
