1 Share of the employment and vocational integration consultant role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the employment agent 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 employment and vocational integration consultant role treats 13 of its required skills as things a employment agent already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

communicate by telephone
develop professional network
document interviews
employment law
facilitate job market access
interview people

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 17 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A employment and vocational integration consultant role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a employment agent background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held prepare for job interview communication, collaboration and creativity
already held facilitate job market access communication, collaboration and creativity
already held profile people management skills
already held job market offers business, administration and law
already held assess character management skills
already held maintain privacy of service users assisting and caring

All 17 carried skills, including the 13 the employment and vocational integration consultant 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.
