41.9/ 100

1 Share of the financial broker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the bank treasurer 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 financial broker role treats 10 of its required skills as things a bank treasurer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • advise on financial matters
  • analyse market financial trends
  • create a financial plan
  • economics
  • financial jurisdiction
  • financial products

What stands in the way is 6 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 16 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A financial broker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a bank treasurer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held conduct financial audits information skills
  • already held synthesise financial information information skills
  • already held maintain records of financial transactions information skills
  • already held trace financial transactions information skills
  • already held financial jurisdiction business, administration and law
  • already held communicate with banking professionals communication, collaboration and creativity

All 16 carried skills, including the 10 the financial broker role treats as required.

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.
