1 Share of the contract engineer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the tourism contract negotiator 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 contract engineer role treats 3 of its required skills as things a tourism contract negotiator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • build business relationships
  • contract law
  • manage contracts

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 5 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A contract engineer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a tourism contract negotiator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held perform contract compliance audits information skills
  • already held manage contract disputes communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held contract law business, administration and law
  • already held manage contracts communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held build business relationships communication, collaboration and creativity

All 5 carried skills, including the 3 the contract engineer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 28 missing skills fall into 7 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.
