1 Share of the insurance rating analyst role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the loan officer 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 rating analyst role treats 8 of its required skills as things a loan officer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

actuarial science
advise on financial matters
analyse financial risk
analyse loans
credit control processes
examine credit ratings

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 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A insurance rating analyst role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a loan officer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held apply credit risk policy assisting and caring
already held analyse loans information skills
already held credit control processes business, administration and law
already held consult credit score information skills
already held debt systems business, administration and law
already held examine credit ratings information skills

All 13 carried skills, including the 8 the insurance rating analyst 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.
