1 Share of the credit union manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the fundraising manager 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 credit union manager role treats 13 of its required skills as things a fundraising manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • advise on financial matters
  • analyse financial performance of a company
  • analyse market financial trends
  • corporate social responsibility
  • create a financial plan
  • enforce financial policies

What stands in the way is 11 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 credit union manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a fundraising manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held enforce financial policies management skills
  • already held financial analysis business, administration and law
  • already held analyse financial performance of a company information skills
  • already held financial statements business, administration and law
  • already held financial management business, administration and law
  • already held strive for company growth management skills

All 16 carried skills, including the 13 the credit union manager role treats as required.

10 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
