1 Share of the volunteer manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the social entrepreneur 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 volunteer manager role treats 5 of its required skills as things a social entrepreneur already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • advocate for others
  • create social alliances
  • data protection
  • monitor social impact
  • perform project management

What stands in the way is 24 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 volunteer manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a social entrepreneur background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held create social alliances communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held monitor social impact information skills
  • already held advocate for others communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held data analytics information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held digital marketing techniques business, administration and law
  • already held data protection information and communication technologies (icts)

All 8 carried skills, including the 5 the volunteer manager 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.
