1 Share of the foreign exchange cashier role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the education 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 foreign exchange cashier role treats 5 of its required skills as things a education administrator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

customer service
electronic communication
handle financial transactions
maintain records of financial transactions
perform clerical duties

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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A foreign exchange cashier role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a education administrator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held electronic communication engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held maintain records of financial transactions information skills
already held trace financial transactions information skills
already held perform clerical duties management skills
already held handle financial transactions management skills
already held customer service business, administration and law

All 6 carried skills, including the 5 the foreign exchange cashier 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.
