1 Share of the competition policy officer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the regional development policy officer 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 · What you already bring

Of the 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A competition policy officer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a regional development policy officer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held state aid regulations business, administration and law
  • already held inspect government policy compliance information skills
  • already held policy analysis social sciences, journalism and information
  • already held European Structural and Investment Funds regulations business, administration and law
  • already held carry out strategic research information skills

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.
