This move: 62.4 of 100 · substantial

1 Share of the web developer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the webmaster 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

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 56 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A web developer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a webmaster background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held WildFly information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held implement front-end website design working with computers
  • already held Joomla information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held domain name service information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held web based collaborative platforms information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held LESS information and communication technologies (icts)

All 56 carried skills, including the 13 the web developer role treats as required.

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.
