53.7/ 100

1 Share of the prosecutor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the case administrator 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 prosecutor role treats 8 of its required skills as things a case administrator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • compile legal documents
  • comply with legal regulations
  • court procedures
  • interpret law
  • legal case management
  • legal research

What stands in the way is 8 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 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A prosecutor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a case administrator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held document evidence information skills
  • already held interpret law communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held civil process order business, administration and law
  • already held legal case management business, administration and law
  • already held provide legal advice communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held legal terminology business, administration and law

All 13 carried skills, including the 8 the prosecutor role treats as required.

The 20 missing skills fall into 5 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.
