1 Share of the electronic and telecommunications equipment and parts distribution manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the intermodal logistics 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 electronic and telecommunications equipment and parts distribution manager role treats 7 of its required skills as things a intermodal logistics manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • freight transport methods
  • have computer literacy
  • manage staff
  • plan transport operations
  • supply chain management
  • track shipments

What stands in the way is 19 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 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A electronic and telecommunications equipment and parts distribution manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a intermodal logistics manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held track shipments information skills
  • already held track shipping sites management skills
  • already held freight transport methods services
  • already held supply chain management business, administration and law
  • already held plan transport operations management skills
  • already held have computer literacy working with computers

All 7 carried skills, including the 7 the electronic and telecommunications equipment and parts distribution manager role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 19 missing skills fall into 6 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

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.
