1 Share of the data entry clerk role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the market research analyst 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 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A data entry clerk role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a market research analyst background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held establish data processes working with computers
  • already held database information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held LDAP information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held MDX information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held XQuery information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held query languages information and communication technologies (icts)

All 13 carried skills, including the 4 the data entry clerk role treats as required.

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.
