1 Share of the insurance claims manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the auditing clerk 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 insurance claims manager role treats 8 of its required skills as things a auditing clerk already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • advise on financial matters
  • conduct financial audits
  • enforce financial policies
  • financial analysis
  • financial statements
  • fraud detection

What stands in the way is 15 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 insurance claims manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a auditing clerk background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held prepare financial auditing reports information skills
  • already held fraud detection services
  • already held conduct financial audits information skills
  • already held enforce financial policies management skills
  • already held financial analysis business, administration and law
  • already held financial statements business, administration and law

All 8 carried skills, including the 8 the insurance claims manager role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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.
