1 Share of the broadcast technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the podcast producer 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 broadcast technician role treats 5 of its required skills as things a podcast producer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • audiovisual products
  • coordinate activities in audio recording studio
  • media formats
  • monitor quality of broadcasts
  • operate audio equipment

What stands in the way is 14 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 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A broadcast technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a podcast producer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held monitor quality of broadcasts working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held media formats arts and humanities
  • already held audio technology arts and humanities
  • already held coordinate activities in audio recording studio management skills
  • already held audiovisual products arts and humanities
  • already held record multi-track sound working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 8 carried skills, including the 5 the broadcast technician role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 34 missing skills fall into 7 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.
