1 Share of the ICT system analyst role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ICT consultant 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

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A ICT system analyst role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ICT consultant background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held analyse ICT system working with computers
  • already held interact with users to gather requirements communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held identify customer requirements information skills
  • already held monitor system performance constructing
  • already held provide ICT consulting advice communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held ICT process quality models information and communication technologies (icts)

All 10 carried skills, including the 8 the ICT system analyst 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.
