1 Share of the branch manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the bank manager 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 branch manager role treats 29 of its required skills as things a bank manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • abide by business ethical code of conducts
  • align efforts towards business development
  • analyse business plans
  • analyse business processes
  • analyse financial risk
  • assume responsibility for the management of a business

What stands in the way is 18 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 36 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A branch manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a bank manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held ensure lawful business operations assisting and caring
  • already held collaborate in company's daily operations communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held shape corporate culture management skills
  • already held conclude business agreements communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held report on overall management of a business communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held assume responsibility for the management of a business management skills

All 36 carried skills, including the 29 the branch manager role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 37 missing skills fall into 6 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.

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.
