44.6/ 100

1 Share of the foreign exchange cashier role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the insurance 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 foreign exchange cashier role treats 7 of its required skills as things a insurance clerk already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • banking activities
  • electronic communication
  • handle financial transactions
  • maintain financial records
  • maintain records of financial transactions
  • perform clerical duties

What stands in the way is 4 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 11 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 insurance clerk background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held offer financial services communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held provide financial product information communication, collaboration and creativity
  • 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

All 11 carried skills, including the 7 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.
