army generaltoarmy major
A army general already meets 54% of what the army major role asks for. The move turns on 3 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 42.7 of 100 · moderate
1 Share of the army major role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the army general 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 · What you already bring
Of the 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A army major role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a army general background worth leading with.
- already held military logistics business, administration and law
- already held monitor military equipment use information skills
- already held manage troop deployment management skills
- already held military drill services
- already held devise military tactics management skills
- already held military combat techniques services
All 12 carried skills, including the 7 the army major role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
