48.7/ 100

1 Share of the broadcasting programme director role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the radio 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 broadcasting programme director role treats 10 of its required skills as things a radio producer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply organisational techniques
  • brand marketing techniques
  • copyright legislation
  • develop programming schedule
  • evaluate broadcast programs
  • manage budgets

What stands in the way is 6 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 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A broadcasting programme director role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a radio producer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held evaluate broadcast programs information skills
  • already held develop programming schedule management skills
  • already held monitor broadcast programming information skills
  • already held develop program ideas communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held negotiate with artists communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held brand marketing techniques business, administration and law

All 14 carried skills, including the 10 the broadcasting programme director 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.
