1 How much of what a data entry supervisor is expected to do is already part of a market research analyst’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the data entry supervisor role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

A data entry supervisor role treats 10 of its required skills as things a market research analyst already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

  • LDAP
  • LINQ
  • MDX
  • N1QL
  • SPARQL
  • XQuery

What stands in the way is 11 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A data entry supervisor 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 12 carried skills, including the 10 the data entry supervisor role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 30 missing skills fall into 8 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

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.
