47.5/ 100

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

  • analyse financial risk
  • debt systems
  • insurance law
  • obtain financial information
  • perform debt investigation
  • provide support in financial calculation

What stands in the way is 7 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 insurance collector role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a insurance risk consultant background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held claims procedures business, administration and law
  • already held review insurance process information skills
  • already held create insurance policies communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held perform debt investigation information skills
  • already held analyse insurance risk information skills
  • already held insurance law business, administration and law

All 13 carried skills, including the 7 the insurance collector role treats as required.

3 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

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

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.
