26%
76.6/ 100
1 Share of the non-vessel operating common carrier role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the international forwarding operations coordinator 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 this move works
A non-vessel operating common carrier role treats 6 of its required skills as things a international forwarding operations coordinator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- apply procedures to ensure cargo complies with customs regulations
- control trade commercial documentation
- coordinate export transportation activities
- coordinate import transportation activities
- manage import export licenses
- set import export strategies
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 · What you already bring
Of the 9 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A non-vessel operating common carrier role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a international forwarding operations coordinator background worth leading with.
- already held manage import export licenses information skills
- already held apply procedures to ensure cargo complies with customs regulations assisting and caring
- already held coordinate export transportation activities management skills
- already held coordinate import transportation activities management skills
- already held set import export strategies management skills
- already held control trade commercial documentation assisting and caring
All 9 carried skills, including the 6 the non-vessel operating common carrier 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.
