This move: 54.4 of 100 · moderate

1 Share of the football coach role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ice-skating coach 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.

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A football coach role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ice-skating coach background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held exercise sports communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held manage athletes management skills
  • already held sports ethics arts and humanities
  • already held adjust sporting equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held develop sports programmes management skills
  • already held assess performance in sport events management skills

All 15 carried skills, including the 8 the football coach role treats as required.

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.
