54.9/ 100

1 Share of the regional development policy officer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the social security administrator 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 regional development policy officer role treats 7 of its required skills as things a social security administrator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • advise on legislative acts
  • create solutions to problems
  • government policy implementation
  • liaise with local authorities
  • maintain relations with local representatives
  • maintain relationships with government agencies

What stands in the way is 4 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 regional development policy officer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a social security administrator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held analyse community needs communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held maintain relations with local representatives communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held advise on legislative acts communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held manage government policy implementation management skills
  • already held maintain relationships with government agencies communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held government policy implementation social sciences, journalism and information

All 8 carried skills, including the 7 the regional development policy officer 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.
