1 Share of the intermodal logistics manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the inland water transport general 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 intermodal logistics manager role treats 4 of its required skills as things a inland water transport general manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • analyse shipping rates
  • plan transport operations
  • track shipments
  • track shipping sites

What stands in the way is 18 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 5 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A intermodal logistics manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a inland water transport general manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held analyse shipping rates information skills
  • already held track shipments information skills
  • already held track shipping sites management skills
  • already held plan transport operations management skills
  • already held have computer literacy working with computers

All 5 carried skills, including the 4 the intermodal logistics manager role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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.
