1 Share of the aviation communications and frequency coordination manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ship pilot dispatcher 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 aviation communications and frequency coordination manager role treats 3 of its required skills as things a ship pilot dispatcher already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • have computer literacy
  • operate radio equipment
  • use different communication channels

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 3 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aviation communications and frequency coordination manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ship pilot dispatcher background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held operate radio equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held have computer literacy working with computers
  • already held use different communication channels communication, collaboration and creativity

All 3 carried skills, including the 3 the aviation communications and frequency coordination manager role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 13 missing skills fall into 5 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.

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.
