40.3/ 100

1 Share of the monk/nun role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the minister of religion 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 monk/nun role treats 5 of its required skills as things a minister of religion already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • establish collaborative relations
  • guide conversion
  • interpret religious texts
  • observe confidentiality
  • promote religious activities

What stands in the way is 3 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 28 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A monk/nun role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a minister of religion background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held Christianity arts and humanities
  • already held Islam arts and humanities
  • already held hinduism arts and humanities
  • already held judaism arts and humanities
  • already held perform puja communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held assist missionary work communication, collaboration and creativity

All 28 carried skills, including the 5 the monk/nun role treats as required.

7 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.
