50.2/ 100

1 Share of the conveyance clerk role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the legal administrative assistant 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 conveyance clerk role treats 5 of its required skills as things a legal administrative assistant already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • compile legal documents
  • legal terminology
  • manage digital documents
  • revise legal documents
  • use word processing software

What stands in the way is 5 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A conveyance clerk role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a legal administrative assistant background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held revise legal documents communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held legal case management business, administration and law
  • already held perform office routine activities management skills
  • already held legal terminology business, administration and law
  • already held civil law business, administration and law
  • already held manage digital documents working with computers

All 12 carried skills, including the 5 the conveyance clerk 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.
