76/ 100

1 Share of the bank teller role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the billing 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 bank teller role treats 4 of its required skills as things a billing clerk already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • communicate with customers
  • handle financial transactions
  • maintain financial records
  • process payments

What stands in the way is 10 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 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A bank teller role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a billing clerk background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held prepare financial statements information skills
  • already held maintain customer records information skills
  • already held create a financial report information skills
  • already held handle financial transactions management skills
  • already held process payments management skills
  • already held maintain financial records information skills

All 7 carried skills, including the 4 the bank teller role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 34 missing skills fall into 11 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.
